8 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (June 14)

6. Stephanie Starts To Show Her True Colors

Well, its about time that there was trouble in paradise.

WWE smartly had Stephanie McMahon and Shane McMahon begin squabbling on camera Monday night, with Shane alleging that Stephanie knew why he wasnt at Raw last week, and it wasnt a vacation. He then turned his attention to the impending brand split and offered to take Raw and let her have Smackdown. Steph refused, so Shane reversed the shows. She rejected it again, leading Shane to call it Same Old Steph.

Seeing the two siblings start to fight reminded us that it isnt supposed to be all bliss and fun with them. There needs to be conflict, and this sort of thing worked well. It was enough to remind us that Shanes the good McMahon, and Stephanie is conniving. And it showed that they probably wont be able to coexist much longer.
