Stephanie McMahon's 10 Best Promos Of Her Authority Heel Run

1. Birth Of Best For Business And B-Plus Player

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80uurLMWX3M The night after SummerSlam 2013, Daniel Bryan and his fans were still picking up the pieces a heartbreaking loss when Triple H and Randy Orton conspired to rip his just-won WWE World Heavyweight Championship from him. That night on Raw, Stephanie confronted him and basically set the tone for the next year, telling him that the decision to forcefully get the belt off of him was €œbest for business.€ Unlike some heel promos, where the villain yells and froths into a microphone, Stephanie calmly yet forcefully told Bryan that he needed to €œmanage your expectations€ and that while he wasn€™t an €œA,€ he was a €œsolid B-plus.€ That kind of condescending, €œput you in your place€ promo was a beautiful thing to watch. Fans already were beside themselves watching Triple H pedigree Bryan and hand the world title to Orton, but Stephanie demeaning Bryan as not being good enough to compete at the top of the promotion put them into another orbit. As proof that this promo created the template, how often are the phrases €œbest for business€ and €œB-plus€ used? Many of the promos and encounters between Bryan and The Authority into the latter half of 2013 followed that same format: Bryan and the fans raging against Triple H and Stephanie, who maintained that the Goat-Faced Warrior just wasn€™t cut out to be the face of the company. That entire storyline got its start right here, and it carried all the way through the main event of WrestleMania XXX. That€™s a pretty good launching pad.
