This past Monday's Raw was Stephanie McMahon's chance to finally, finally show some sort of weakness on the microphone and put over Ronda Rousey as the one who had physically humiliated her at WrestleMania. Instead, Steph blew off chants off "you tapped out" from fans, owned it and then spoke down to Ronda during a contract signing segment later on.

Why!?

It's a terrible error of judgement from WWE to think that fans don't care what happened at 'Mania and will accept McMahon's ownership of her comeuppance. People do care, and it sucks to think that Rousey's big debut moment has been glossed over just because Steph needs to cut Kurt Angle's nuts off one more time in storyline and play the vindictive boss lady.

Stephanie is a superb heel on her day, albeit one who rarely shows fragility. She should take a leaf from her father's book. Back during the Mr. McMahon, Vince, when it mattered most, was only too happy to look second best.
