5 toughest ever opponents of Stephanie McMahon

#4. Stephanie McMahon vs The Rock

The Rock and Stephanie McMahon

Stephanie McMahon has shared the ring with The Rock several times. Their first encounter came in August 2002 in an intergender tag team match. The Rock teamed up with Lita to defeat Stephanie McMahon and Kurt Angle by disqualification.

The match saw Stephanie slap The Rock before suffering an injury. Her husband Triple H rushed to help his wife and carry her backstage before returning to attack The Rock and Lita. He also punched the referee.

On September 10, 2001, Stephanie teamed up with Test to take on The Rock in a handicap match on Monday Night RAW.

The Billion Dollar Princess sat by the announcing table for most of the match. However, Stephanie had to interfere and distract The Brahma Bull before he hit Test with The People's Elbow.

The distraction gave her partner the chance to regain control of the match before Stephanie tagged herself in. The Rock turned the tables again and attempted to hit Stephanie with the Rock Bottom. Test returned to the ring at the right moment to rescue his partner but paid the price as he received a Rock Bottom himself to lose the match.

A week later, Stephanie and Test had a rematch against The Rock. This time it ended differently. The People's Champ hit the referee with a Rock Bottom following a heated verbal exchange between them.

Booker T and Shane McMahon took advantage and ran down to the ring to help Test take out The Brahma Bull, giving Stephanie the chance to pin him for the victory.
