8 Times Stephanie McMahon Actively Damaged Women In WWE
3. Shame
Vickie Guerrero was a victim of fat-shaming long before the term even existed, with her treatment now the latest of a low-key selection of segments and skits the company would rather not see daylight from inside the bowels of their own Network.
Stephanie McMahon wasn't just privy to the scorn heaped upon the astonishingly talented widow as she sought to earn a living as a single mother from the company her husband died under the employ of. She actively engaged in it.
Getting her kicks abusing her as part of the putrid administrative hierarchy that has polluted WWE television since Vince McMahon got an authority figure over once, Stephanie revelled in the opportunity to reduce Guerrero's position on the show.
Negating to elevate either of them based on shared understandings of a complex and sexist industry, Stephane again abused her power to allow such grim scripting of her and others towards the character. Sacking her twice from increasingly diminished positions of authority in 2013 and 2014, McMahon literally shoved her face in the dirt when Vickie said a final farewell in a 2014 mud match.
Stephanie at least received similar treatment on the night, but then patently used the footage to highlight just how ruddy bloody charitable she was.
