There are plenty of wrestlers who haven't exactly benefited from being involved in programs with Stephanie McMahon over the years. McMahon has been known to (perhaps unintentionally) emasculate certain performers. However, she has always had excellent on-screen chemistry with her real-life husband, Triple H.

Both Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are stellar on the mic, which often makes for a good valet-wrestler relationship, as the two have success playing off of one another. Moreover, The Billion Dollar Princess' authoritative, alpha female character blends well with 'The Game's cerebral, business-like heel persona. When both of them are on, they are the gold standard for wrestling power couples.

McMahon is one of the best actors in professional wrestling and would overshadow many, if not most, of the acts on WWE's roster. Fortunately, Triple H is an all-around talented performer and veteran, who seems immune from being significantly outshined at this stage in his career.

To be fair, the fact that the couple own a portion of the company and have a great deal of creative control should be noted. Still, owners or not, the two complement each other quite nicely.
