11 Major WWE Superstars That Hated Stephanie McMahon

3. Shane McMahon

Intermittent brotherly and sisterly hatred is fairly normal. We're pretty sure that Shane and Stephanie McMahon are fine as of today... but it's also safe to assume that they had some serious conflict over WWE power in the mid 2000's. Steph's meteoric rise to power in WWE was seriously undercutting the heir-apparent Shane. He'd started with the company earlier and forged forward with the business side of WWE. She came to the party later and went down the creative side of the company. As executive vice president of global media, Shane was surely the better qualified to one day replace his father. However, Stephanie's close working relationship with Vince on creative helped to raise her profile. She compounded that rise by dating Triple H, which in turn created a power couple right at the heart of the WWE. Slowly and surely, Shane was marginalised. We reckon there was some resentment on Shane's part at the way things ended up. He was meant to be the next generation of McMahon, not Stephanie. He eventually left to pursue other ventures.
