WWE News: Revealed, Stephanie McMahon’s Role at the Royal Rumble PPV
Jan 26, 2018 at 3:13 PM
Stephanie McMahon was the one whom WWE chose to announce the first-ever Royal Rumble match for the women superstars. The infamous moment took place on the December 18th episode of Monday Night Raw, last year at the Dunkin Donuts Center in Providence, Richmond.
This was a right decision form the officials considering that the Raw commissioner is deemed to be the backbone of the women’s evolution.
She was the one to announce it on a summer evening back in 2015 officially. With this Royal Rumble match being announced, a full circle was completed for the female superstars. Furthermore, the billion dollar princess also accepted this moment will always remain as the very best for her on the flagship program of the WWE.
With the Royal Rumble 2018 approaching towards us, the rumours were running rampant speculating whether Stephanie McMahon will be involved in a match or not. Being a fitness freak, she always keeps herself ready for a match and this time too; we should not get surprised if she chooses to enter the actual match.
However, if her social media account is to go by then she will be seen in a different role on January 28th. According to her Twitter handle, she will join the commentary team during the first-ever women’s Royal Rumble match. Alongside the original team, Steph will be calling down all the actions going in the middle of that ring.
Since her presence is a good thing for WWE TV, this is considered to be a big announcement for the fans. Check out the post from her account,
