11 Major WWE Superstars That Hated Stephanie McMahon

8. Rob Van Dam

The first male entry on this list is the Whole F'N Show, Rob Van Dam. RVD seemed primed for WWE Gold in the autumn of 2002, only to find his push shut down by the conspiring couple of Stephanie and Triple H. It was a creative frustration for Van Dam, who found his career treading water for the months (and even years) after the September 2002 title match loss against Hunter. As the director of creative television at time of Van Dam's loss, blame fell on Stephanie for squashing a potential new star. It looked like she'd simply gave Triple H preferential treatment because she was dating him. Van Dam was unhappy and would post-WWE talk about how he felt restrained by creative. There wasn't lasting resentment, but he had been seriously demoralised by Hunter and Stephanie.
