25 Ways WWE Has Ruined Raw

22. Stephanie McMahon

Stephanie McMahon is a good talker and a strong personality, but a poisonous character.

There's an argument to be made that her TV persona is the most toxic in the company's history, as no matter the circumstances, her appearances never benefit anybody but herself. Steph is a professional at emasculation. She specialises in belittling, demeaning, and humiliating full-time performers, leaving their credibility shattered, and their pride hanging by a thread.

This would be fine if comeuppance was a thing, but no: Stephanie is bulletproof. She'll occasionally take a bump or let her prey bite back, but such instances are rare, particularly in the modern era.

Stephanie's power means she can effectively do what she wants, but her presence has rendered countless Raw segments unwatchable. Kurt Angle was her latest victim, and while McMahon might not be full-time at the moment, there's always a chance she'll show up; teeth sharpened, ready to shred another poor fool.
