The heart of the matter
The Kingslayer Seth Rollins took on Triple H in a non-sanctioned match at Wrestlemania 33. Stephanie assumed her usual position beside her husband at ringside. Triple H put over Rollins in the match in a shocking finish, where he accidentally pushed Stephanie into a table that was set up at ringside.
Stephanie went straight through the table and has not been seen on WWE TV since. Meltzer pointed out that the spot was meant to write Stephanie off TV for a while so that she could take a break from WWE after the hectic schedule of the Wrestlemania extravaganza.
In her absence, Kurt Angle has taken over the reins of Monday Night RAW as the General Manager and carried the red brand through the superstar shakeup.
What’s next?
There is no date schedule as to when Stephanie will resume the position as the Commissioner of Monday Night RAW, but according to her recent tweets, it seems that she is back in Stamford, CT.
Stephanie’s return to Monday Night RAW will surely open up several storylines and it would be interesting to see how she manages to coordinate with the new GM.
Author's take
The Billion Dollar Princess loves the spotlight and it won’t be long before Monday Night RAW kicks off once again with her theme song playing. The fact that RAW has often been criticised for having too much focus on authority figures has never stopped Stephanie to take up about fifteen minutes of air time.
It is safe to say that not too many fans are eagerly waiting to see Stephanie back on Monday Night RAW.
