WWE News: Ronda-Stephanie Storyline to be Similar to Mr McMahon-Stone Cold Rivalry

Most of the fans in the WWE would agree to the fact that the rivalry between Mr McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin is the most popular in the WWE programming.

In fact, this particular program was the pillar of the infamous Attitude Era that is said to be the golden era of the company. Apparently, the creative team is trying to recreate this rivalry between the two female names from the roster.

En route to the Wrestlemania 34 event, we are having the rivalry between Ronda Rousey and Stephanie McMahon on WWE Raw. Due to the presence of the former UFC Bantamweight Champion, the feud will garner much attention from all over the world. There’s no doubt that how much she is a mainstream star in the American sports industry.

Depending on this, WWE is trying to make this feud a much bigger one. According to the reports from Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the reason behind signing Ronda Rousey under the banner of WWE in-time for Wrestlemania was to set up a rivalry much like to the Stone Cold-Vince McMahon one.

This would make Stephanie McMahon a big persona outside the mainstream sports industry.

Back in the days, the mainstream stars like Mike Tyson, Arnold Schwarzenegger appearing during McMahon-Austin rivalry took the fame of the Chairman of the company to a new level.

So, the same would be planned for the WWE Raw commissioner, as well that in turn will help her to be a familiar face across the globe. It is what the source had to offer regarding the planned scenario,

“Rousey is a major sports star. The idea that she was the single most searched female athlete in the U.S. on the Internet in 2017, a year she never competed and for the most part laid low in, speaks volumes. The idea for the program is to make Stephanie a star outside of just the pro wrestling world.”

For the last few years, the Queen of the Queendom has been a brand ambassador for the company. While her husband took over the creative part of the company in a slow-and-steady manner, she represented the company more on the global conventions and summit.

This is the reason why she was chosen to attend the Cannes Lions festival for three years in a row.
