8 Ways WWE's Booking For Survivor Series Has Made No Sense
6. Stephanie Is The Bravest Of All
There's no denying that Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley has hit her apex as a performer. Next to Paul Heyman she's the best heel in the business and has become a master craftswoman at manipulating and playing off of live crowds. But she's not without fault. And one of her biggest issues is that she refuses to look weak. Look no further than the recent contract signing segment on Raw. There stood the entire Authority team as John Cena dressed them down verbally (more on that in a moment), yet it was the Billion Dollar Princess who stepped up to shut Cena down with a slap to the face. Obviously she can do these things without fear of repercussion because the 2014 WWE climate will never have male-on-female violence. So then why have her do it all? All it does is make the crew of large men around her look like jabronis who need a woman to fight their battles (not usually a problem for heels) but continues to position Stephanie as the baddest lady in the land. And no one's paying to see that.
