The final segment of WWE Raw was able to save the three stale hours on WWE television. This week’s edition of the flagship show was rushed to a great extent, and the audience was not getting into it. However, whenever Stephanie McMahon pops out on that screen, we know that business is about to pick up.
So, this time around, she came up with the biggest announcement of the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match that will be hosted on January 28th at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These started the emotions running high on the female roster including the Raw commissioner, as well.

Usually, she is not that much of an emotional person when it comes to moments like these. But, once WWE Raw went off the air, Stephanie remained inside the ring to celebrate this path-breaking moment with the entire WWE Raw locker room. The commissioner was seen breaking her in-ring heel persona for once, as she hugged each one present inside the ring to be a part of the history.
