WWE Raw: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (March 14th)
7. Hope In A Handbasket
Stephanie McMahon came out to the ring on Raw to introduce her husband, reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H. HHH immediately went into a promo about how the fans hoped Ambrose would win at Roadblock, but that their entire lives were a repetitive pattern of misplaced hope. It wasn't until Dolph Ziggler interrupted him that HHH shut up, and the result was that a match between the two was booked for later in the show. If there's one thing worth taking away from the segment, it's that Stephanie is ten times the promo her husband is. She didn't get to speak as much as she did a couple of weeks ago when accepting the Vincent J. McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award, but with just a few lines - especially one where she accused Dolph of some "Cena-esque" pandering - she completely outclassed her husband. The McMahons are all over Raw lately, and it's become really off-putting. Still, if Vince, Shane, Stephanie, and Triple H all were to take a powder after WrestleMania, it'd be hard not to miss the Billion-Dollar Princess just a bit.
