Whether inadvertent or not, the Vaudevillains lived up to their moniker Monday when they came out to face the New Day, breaking up a confab in the ring.

New Day was trying to encourage Shane and Stephanie McMahon to figure out who was going to run Raw and Smackdown after the new brand extension, and they suggested that the siblings have a dance-off to determine who would make the decision. Shane went through the booty-shaking routine with Kofi Kingston and Big E, and Stephanie finally was goaded into agreeing to participate, when the Vaudevillains music hit.

Now, at the risk of sounding like a lovestruck teen, Stephanie is a very attractive woman, and it could have been pretty interesting if she had gotten down and done New Days dance routine. Heck, it might have turned her into a bona fide babyface with the crowd! Instead, the Vaudevillains broke it up, and fans actually booed.

Not earth-shattering by any means, but it was a nice little touch.
