5 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (September 24)

5. Steph Emasculates Another GM

This has gotta be a record of some sorts: Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon has now belittled and ridiculed her third GM during her tenure.

McMahon has given an unreturned verbal beatdown to Hall-of-Famers Mick Foley and Kurt Angle, but Monday, she added Acting GM Baron Corbin to the list. Corbin, once a jerk heel who didn’t care about anyone (given his nickname of the Lone Wolf), was now singing “Happy Birthday” to Steph as she got out of her limo, groveling like every other suited suck-up we’ve seen.

But Steph turned around and emasculated her handpicked heel GM for using his power to book himself in a Universal Championship match last week, because she and her husband never abused their power when they were managing things.

So it doesn’t matter if you’re face or heel, Stephanie McMahon will make sure you know who’s really in charge: her. And you’ll never get your comeuppance on her, like wrestlers often did with her father.
