Throughout the history of Monday Night Raw, we€™ve had to endure numerous authority figures and stables with odd names. We€™ve had the Corporation, the Ministry, the McMahon-Helmsley Faction (or Regime), the Alliance, and most recently, the Authority.

With the dissolution of the Authority, it looked like we finally were just going to have one authority figure, Shane McMahon. But Vince McMahon threw a curveball at Payback and decided that Shane and Stephanie McMahon would share control of Raw, an oddball decision that was picked apart in the previous column.

But Monday, we found out that this brother-sister duo has a name: the Power of Monday Night Raw.

No, seriously. Stephanie was introduced as €œone-half of the Power of Monday Night Raw.€ Let that one roll around in your head for a while. No comment necessary.
