This is gonna lead to an epic Summerslam match between Steph and Vickie Guerrero for the Divas title. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}It will end with Triple H annihilating Brad Maddox.

When I got home from work, my brother told me about what happened on Raw. When he got to the Stephanie part, I genuinely thought she was going to announce Aurora Rose as the number 1 contender for the Divas title

I like the fact that the person who writes the terrible dialogue is also the same exact person who performs it the worst in the company right now. Steph worked when she was an immature princess with Daddy issues in the early 2000's. Now she's just a knock-off Vince with implants, bu twithout his charm, spouting wooden lines with a voice that would make Marge Simpson's sisters sound like Jennifer Tilly in comparison.
I seriously have no idea who out of Vince, HHH and Steph we're supposed to even be behind right now. They're all horrible, self-aggrandizing douches.

She (along with Vince) approves the scripts and is basically in charge of hiring and firing people on the writing team. Each show has its own set of head writers who present their scripts (written by their teams) to Steph based on her own suggestions, bullet-points and ideas. She then goes over it with Vince, revises it, and if they want to start anew they send the scripts back for re-write with the direction they want, and the cycle starts again.

Someone mentioned AJ looks up to Stephanie. Is that in Kayfabe or in real life?
Either way what is there to look up to? In Kayfabe she's a horrible hypocritical whiny cow, and in real life she's not really done anything that impressive. She was born with the surname Mcmahon.
You can tell she's married to HHH from that segment.

You know you've been around Triple H too long when you get the sudden, overwhelming urge to point out how everyone else is beneath you. ...At every possible opportunity.
AJ and Kaitlyn did a great job at Payback. They had MOTN in the eyes of many. I'm not buying this notion that breathing the same air as Stephanie elevates anyone unless this was more than a one-off to assert her dominance. It could be, but I'm doubtful.

It came off like a complete burial of the Divas division to me. The way Steph towered over AJ (the heels did not help), and then the way she addressed Kaitlyn and the other Divas, who stood around and took it. They've been positioned as complete geeks, the lot of them. And hey presto, that's how the fans will be conditioned to treat them. Unless this builds to Paige coming in with McMahon approval.

Lets be honest the sole purpose for this segment was nothing more than simple McMahon ego rubbing.
Which is why If I never have to see any of them on WWE television ever again I shall die a happy man.

I actually hope it leads to Steph regaining the Women's AKA Divas Title again and making it mean something.

What does she have that makes her someone to look up to? The only lesson she can teach is to make sure your Dad is a multi millionaire. Vince is the one who has built the company into the Powerhouse it is. Stephanie was just handed everything. Her being made head of writing in late 2000 was the beginning of the WWE losing steam in my opinion.

Yeah, this is gonna be what conditions the fans to see Divas as nothing. Not basically everything they've done for years now.

Well it surely didn't help.
Seriously, firing or not, heel or not, I want AJ to kick Stephanie's ass. Make the stuff in the Diva's division mean something. Have AJ's actions affect the (stupid) HHH vs Vince storyline by taking Steph (the middlewoman) out of the picture.

Man, Stephs voice is DEEP now.
Preferable to screechy, but WOW

Kinda want AJ to push Kaitlyn's buttons again in an in ring segment before Steph interrupts. Then Kaitlyn snaps and spears Steph.
Then she gets fined 1,000,000 dollars or something.
