5 toughest ever opponents of Stephanie McMahon

#3. Stephanie McMahon vs Brock Lesnar

Stephanie McMahon had to go one-on-one against Brock Lesnar

In September 2003, Stephanie McMahon had to go one-on-one with The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar.

Stephanie was then SmackDown's general manager and in a feud with her father, Vince McMahon. On the September 9 episode of the blue brand, Lesnar challenged her to a match, and Vince saw it as an opportunity to punish his daughter. He gave her a choice between accepting Lesnar's challenge or stepping down from her SmackDown general manager position.

Stephanie accepted Lesnar's challenge. However, she tried to escape the ring as soon as the bell rang. The Beast had to chase her backstage and bring her back on his shoulders to ringside.

Luckily for Stephanie, Kurt Angle interfered and rescued her from Lesnar. The match ended in no contest, and The Billion Dollar Princess kept her job.

Brock Lesnar has been absent from WWE since WrestleMania 36 when he lost his WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre. However, he could be back soon.

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, WWE and Brock Lesnar are currently negotiating a possible return to the company.
