On one hand, yeah, it's more of Steph's usual Alpha Female bullshit but I didn't mind this one for two big reasons:
1. At least this one had a purpose. A lot of the time when Steph does this, it really does come off like she's getting herself over at the expense of the segment (her slapping Roman last week for example). Here, she was clearly frustrated at Roman "out-smarting" her (even though she had a pretty shit plan when you actually think about it).
2. It made me laugh. Raw ended when a grown man got slapped to death by a mother of 3 and sold it like he getting chopped by Kobashi. That's hilarious to me.

I've always liked Stephanie but even I'm getting to the point where I want a Diva (preferably Sasha) to just slap the crap out of her Got a feeling this is the plan

If she doesn't like Roman as champion, she could simply strip him of the title. There's no kayfabe reason why she or her dad couldn't

She should follow the example of the greatest heel authority figure of all time.

I don't think we can really invoke Board Of Directors when they've basically allowed the company to be run by corrupt management for close to 20 years now.

The payoff for the Authority attacking Edge and Christian & their lawsuit against them was them getting a WWE Network show. I expect Tom get another WWE.com show as penitence.

Why would the board have no problems letting them basically act like total jerks making the company look terrible on tv but draw the line at dumping Reigns as champ?

Tom should play hardball and start demanding all sorts of outrageous things.

I'd be more overthinking this than WWE is, but Tom could be on the clause that if you're going to be in the arena as an on-screen performer, you must expect to have a physical altercation and a waiver must be signed to be on air. Which is why we haven't seen the Board of Directors or any of their reps on air...being off air, they are free from physicality, allowing rulings such as the last time where they were referenced IIRC, the demanding an end to the Big Show lawsuit attempt.

Because Roman is a potential cash cow and him getting stripped of the title effects the bottom line. They may own the company but they got to answer to shareholders and trustees if they become too bad for business.

Roman going for the spear and "accidentally" spearing her is probably the closest we'll get to her getting physical comeuppance. I long think they'd do that. Maybe Roman spears Trips into her. That way it looks more accidental. True heel would be for duck behind Miss Stephanie, but they wouldn't dare.

Part of me feels like this wouldn't be as much of a thing as it is if we weren't constantly going "OMG EMASCULATION" all the time. They're probably silly enough to think they're getting good heat for this as a result and are going to keep doing it... And also the fact that most of the people that legit hate it keep coming back. We're not listening to Paul Anka's advice, guys. This is unironically my favorite ending to RAW in ages and I demand that we get more of Steph beating the shit out of innocents backstage. Bring back Stan.
