Stephanie McMahon is a very polarizing figure in the world of WWE and given that she hasn't competed inside the ring in over two years, one has to wonder if she ever will again. Beyond that, who exactly would be her opponent if she would ever step inside the squared circle again, and what would the story be behind it?
If nothing else, Stephanie McMahon is one of those talents that a win means something against, and WWE would be foolish not to capitalize on that. It might even grab the ratings that WWE needs right now, which is yet another reason why having her back in the ring would be best for business.
With that being said and a lot of fans divided on the in-ring future of Stephanie McMahon, here are three reasons why she should return to the ring and two reasons why she shouldn't. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and let us know what you feel about Stephanie McMahon competing again.
#5. Should: A lot of dream match options for Stephanie McMahon
The WWE Universe has come up with a plethora of dream matches for Stephanie McMahon to compete in over the years and it would be very interesting to see WWE finally follow up on it. In fact, it could be a huge surge for WWE's ratings and even lead to one of those once in a lifetime moments fans get all giddy about.
In fact, with Superstars like Sasha Banks, Bayley, Nia Jax, Becky Lynch, Alexa Bliss, and other talents, there are a limitless amount of dream matches WWE could go with. The best part, however, is that all of the options on the table are so tantalizing that fans probably won't get upset no matter what.
In the end, maybe it's just wishful thinking, but Stephanie McMahon could compete with any Superstar on the roster and have it be labeled a dream match. That's just the kind of presence McMahon brings to the table when she steps into the ring and WWE should really start to use that again.
#4. Shouldn't: Some fans don't like Stephanie McMahon
Believe it or not, there are some fans that can't stand Stephanie McMahon and will go out of their way to avoid her on their television screen. While some might think that this is the intention of her character and has been for a long time, one has to remember that her personality has alienated some fans in the past.
Again, it's just a part of her personality and it has been played up very well over the years, but some fans just take it personally. Furthermore, a vocal minority of the fan base loath seeing the McMahon's on television, which is yet another reason why bringing her back for a match could backfire on them.
If nothing else, Stephanie McMahon is a very polarizing figure in today's WWE and she should really be used sparingly. Also, she is currently being portrayed as a babyface figure over on Friday Night SmackDown, which would make any type of transition into a heel a little jarring, to say the least.
#3. Should: Stephanie McMahon could elevate the division
Stephanie McMahon doesn't step inside the ring very often, which is why it definitely means something big when she eventually does. In fact, one only has to look at her last match against Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle to know that she only steps into the ring when something big is on the line.
With that being said and the women's division suffering blow after blow with the loss of Becky Lynch and Kari Sane, WWE needs to bring someone in to make the division feel special again. Furthermore, they need someone in there that is able to elevate the rest of the girls on the roster.
In all honesty, that woman should be none other than Stephanie McMahon and anyone else would just fall short of the desired goal. In the end, there is no better way of getting someone over than a win over Stephanie McMahon, which is why she should be called in for the role.
#2. Shouldn't: Stephanie McMahon would take time away from other talents
Whether the WWE Universe wants to admit it or not, Stephanie McMahon competing again would almost certainly come at the expense of someone else on the roster. Of course, a lot of fans would probably rather see McMahon back in action, inside the ring, anyway, but it comes at a cost that WWE can't really afford right now.
The fans have honestly been clamoring for WWE to build new Superstars and if the company does anything besides that, longtime fans are almost certain to lose their minds. Furthermore, one has to ask themselves, what can really be gained by Stephanie McMahon getting back into the ring for one more match, unless she puts someone new over.
While Stephanie McMahon is a big money draw for WWE, especially when she gets into the ring, her doing so would take time away from other deserving talents. It might also start rumors of other Superstars getting buried in favor of McMahon, which would definitely be counterproductive.
#1. Should: Stephanie McMahon hasn't competed in a while
Stephanie McMahon hasn't had a match inside the squared circle since WrestleMania 34, and while she has been transitioned into an on-screen role again, one has to wonder when she will compete again. Furthermore, who will she compete against if such a situation were to occur?
Keep in mind that although Stephanie McMahon isn't a wrestler in the traditional sense, she is very good at telling a story inside the ring and would be an asset to today's product. Sure, it might have to involve her husband Triple H or even her brother Shane, but there is definitely a story to be told here.
In the end, Stephanie McMahon stepping back into the ring is one of the few aces in the hole that WWE has left and would help to increase their ratings. It could also be used to help elevate a deserving talent, which is only more of a reason why WWE should look into bringing her back.
