Shit that looked rough. I think she caught his eye at one point.
I actually hate things like that, because while she's slapping the piss out of Roman he has to stand there and take it because she's a woman, and all it does is make you want Roman to knock her on her ass.
Admittedly, it would be funny if Roman appeared next week with a legit black eye because of Stephanie.

It is annoying knowing that in the Attitude Era she would of been speared to hell.

Maybe it was just me, but after the first one it looked like Roman was corpsing a little bit, so Steph just put everything into the second one.

The biggest problem I have with Stephanie's character is that she can never get any sort of comeuppance. Obviously, Reigns can't spear her during today's product, so she just cuts him down like a schoolyard bully. Now, this may sound like an effective heel, but it isn't. The babyface, in the end, is always supposed to prevail...no one can prevail over Steph because she cannot be given any sort of retribution.
Not to mention how inconsistent her character is. One segment we see her on TV with charities, the next she's screaming in the face of wrestlers...Stephanie needs to go and never come back.

Stuff like this always makes me think, "Did they forget to ask me for my credit card number?" or at least a "YES, I AM OVER 18" button to click.

Again, this is another thing Daniel Bryan no-sold the hell out of...   That's a face that either says "Bitch, please" or "Man, I'm f***ing concussed AGAIN, aren't I?". (Also, Triple H gurning it up like Demolition Smash in the background) |

I can't stand her. Everything that comes out of her mouth is just a company buzzword. While both HHH and Steph both are written to be way superior to everybody on the roster, at least HHH will get his ass kicked from time to time. With Steph, the roster quivers in fear |

The problem with Steph is she's bulletproof. HHH gets annihilated by Reigns as well as losing to Bryan etc, Vince is f***ing 70 years old and sold a Superman punch like he'd been hit by a car, and even got kicked off the apron like he was garbage. Those two will take bumps and make the face look good. Steph does nothing but look like the biggest bad-ass bitch on the planet.

I love it when heels get heat.
Yes, she gets her comeuppance from time to time: Rousey arm-barred her at WM. Roman spiked her coffee and made her sick last year. She got arrested for slapping Brie. Etc.
No heel gets comeuppance right back immediately every time they do something dastardly. It makes the payoff bigger when it happens. And there's also the payback when her husband gets beat up.
Like I said, I love it when a heel gets heat. I just laugh when I see "I hate that heel, but not in a good way, so they aren't a good heel or they should go away." Which is a great reaction for a heel to get from smarks. So bravo, Stephanie!

Basically, this wasn't emasculating Roman, he literally laughed it off, then they sent for Vince so they had someone who could actually take charge, and Roman won the belt by the end of the night. It wasn't "ooo Steph is an invincible goddess cutting down this man" it was more "I'm slapping you because that's all I have, and it doesn't even do anything". She had no power and her plans were thwarted, isn't that comeuppance? |

I was wondering why Roman didn't go the Brie route and have Steph arrested again for assault.

I often agree with the 'Steph emasculated him!' arguments but not this one.
Steph slaps usually get sold like hell. Roman laughed it off and then punched her dad and won the title.
They did it perfectly in my book.
