Stephanie McMahon is a power mad bitch who revels in being daddy's little girl, right? Hmm, not really. In reality, away from her on screen work, Steph is actually someone many have spoken of highly. NXT war horse Tommaso Ciampa is one of them. Stephanie went out of her way to make him feel welcome when he was a mere scrub.

Back in 2005, Ciampa was brought in to play the role of lawyer for Muhammad Hassan in a SmackDown segment with The Undertaker. He told CBS Sports that everyone was patient with him, and that he enjoyed the experience. Beyond the on screen attention, he had a ball being shown around the WWE world by none other than Steph.

She whisked him away on a tour of the locker rooms, promo area, offices and more.

This is something Ciampa has thanked McMahon for since now he's part of WWE properly. He never forgot how kind she was to him when it would've been so easy to dismiss him as a nobody who was only in for a one-off shot.
