Triple H & Stephanie Working to Change How Women Are Featured in WWE

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are big supporters of changing the way women are featured on WWE TV. Part of this comes from Stephanie’s female influence as well as the fact that Ronda Rousey has become such a popular figure in the sports world (she just had a Sports Illustrated cover) is a box office attraction in the UFC and is landing movie roles.
Triple H and Stephanie aren’t UFC fans, but they are fans of Rousey and feel that her success signals a sign that times are changing. With that being the feeling, they want that change represented in the WWE Divas division.
While this vision is being pushed in NXT, Vince McMahon reportedly still sees women in the roles they currently take on in the Divas division and he controls the main WWE product.

Opinionated View- Sounds good but I'll believe it when I see it. Plus are they going to feature talent worth watching? Look at the divas title right now. Nikki Bella who sucks is the champion and she is feuding with Naomi whose one move is jumping up in the air. Lord knows I don't want to see ore of that.

Hell there are reports that Charlotte hasn't been promoted to the main roster because she doesn't fit Diva look.

WWE Creative Stunned By Dana White’s Rousey Comments?

- As reported on Friday, Dana White said that Ronda Rousey’s appearance at WrestleMania 31 was a “one and done” and that Rousey won’t be working a match in WWE. Wrestling Observer Radio reports that WWE’s Creative was “stunned” over the comments as they were hoping to book the Rousey vs. Stephanie McMahon match. With Rousey’s UFC contract, White has the capability to nix any sort of work with WWE so while Rousey has expressed interest, it is all up to White.
WWE has been talking about a possible tag team match with Rousey as well, and if neither match happens it is still possible she might appear in Rock’s corner for a match with Triple H.

Opinionated View- If this is true than it shows just how disconnected WWE is. Of course Dana White isn't going to let his biggest star risk getting hurt in a wrestling match. He might be ok with her appearing but wrestling it was never going to happen.

Stephanie McMahon Could Be Off WWE TV For A Month

As seen last night on RAW, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon weren’t on the program due to a “vacation on a tropical island”.
The real reason is because Stephanie McMahon was nominated for a 2015 Eisenhower Fellow in October 2014, along with eight other executives in the US. It’s believed that she could currently be on an overseas trip with The Eisenhower Fellows Multi Nation Program. The trip began on April 5 and lasts between 4-5 weeks.
If she’s on the trip, then it not only explains why she wasn’t on RAW, but indicates that she could be off WWE TV for much longer.

Opinionated View- Only a month? Way to short come on Stephanie be gone forever that would be a huge improvement for WWE.

Details On Why WWE Won’t Mention AJ Lee’s Tweets To Stephanie On TV

Why Did Triple H and Stephanie McMahon Join WWE’s Board of Directors?

- The Wrestling Observer has an update on WWE executives Triple H and Stephanie McMahon joining the WWE Board of Directors. The move was reportedly made to help with the eventual transition for when the two will take over the company from Vince McMahon.

In addition, since WWE is publicly traded, there was a perception that Wall Street would not accept a former wrestler who has limited business experience as the new CEO of WWE. Triple H taking the position will help get him the experience needed for him to be groomed for that eventual role.

Opinionated View- AJ will be punished by having the wrestle Stephanie the worse punishment any Diva could face.

Stephanie and Vince McMahon Comment On Divas

Stephanie McMahon took to Twitter late Tuesday evening to respond to comments by WWE Diva AJ Lee who criticized her for supporting comments by actress Patricia Arquette for discussing women's rights and wage equality at the Oscars on Sunday night.

Lee wrote, "Your female wrestlers have record selling merchandise & have starred in the highest rated segment of the show several times, and nd yet they receive a fraction of the wages & screen time of the majority of the male roster. #UseYourVoice."

McMahon then responded around three hours later to Lee writing, "Thank you @WWEAJLee, I appreciate your opinion.  #UseYourVoice."

In response to the #GiveDivasAChance topic trending following a very short Divas tag match this past Monday night on RAW, Vince McMahon wrote the following on Twitter.

"We hear you. Keep watching.  #GiveDivasAChance"

 

Opinionated View- Well Stephanie said publicly what she need to say same with Vince. Now About the whole give Divas a Chance thing to me it depends on the Diva. I would love to see Nattie or Paige get a chance. I sure as hell don't want to see the bellas featured more often.

Reason Why The Authority Returned on Raw

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Authority returning to WWE TV has been planned for some time now. The move to bring them back was reportedly not a reaction to the recent low ratings for Raw. WWE’s plans have been to set up a Triple H vs. Sting match at WrestleMania 31, so bringing back the Authority allows them to start setting up that match.

Sting’s next appearance for WWE has not been confirmed, but word is that he is not expected to be a surprise entrant in the 2015 Royal Rumble match.

Opinionated View- Bullshit the reason they returned fucking EGO! Triple H and Stephanie love playing top heels that's why they did it for over a year and now here we are right back to it. If you want to set up for a Sting vs. Triple H match you can do it without doing a heel boss story and without bringing back Stephanie.

Triple H & Stephanie McMahon in Power Struggle With WWE CFO

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon are reportedly in a “power struggle” with WWE CFO George Barrios and Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer Michelle Wilson. The topic is a hot one in terms of conversation backstage.

Barrios and Wilson were the two key executives in charge of the WWE Network launch and securing the company’s new television deal. As we know by now, neither of them were close to as successful as the company hoped for.

Opinionated View- I really don't what this report is implying are Triple H and Stephanie trying to force the other two out? I do if your fitting the McMahon family for power in the WWE you are going to lose and lose big time

Possible Heel Turn For Diva

- WWE officials have talked about turning Nikki Bella heel. The company isn't sure how long they plan to push the Stephanie McMahon vs Brie Bella feud, so the plans are at a very early stage. 

Opinionated View- Oh god both just sound awful. I don't want to see the Bellas feud with each other or with Stephanie.

Mr. McMahon May Be Retired As On-Screen Character For Now

The "Mr. McMahon" character played by Vince McMahon may be retired for now as Stephanie McMahon is becoming a new version. WWE is now billing her as "the principal owner of World Wrestling Entertainment" instead of "one of the principal owners." Stephanie will now be put over on television as the owner of the company.

Since plans didn't work out to bring Vince back as an on-air character by Wrestlemania XXX, the belief is that he will do appearances when needed (documentaries and specials) but mostly remain off TV for the time being. 

Opinionated View- Well its long over due as "Mr. McMahon" is boring stale and just not that good. Problem is Stephanie sucks at her best she still sucks and its the same old warmed over evil boss stuff Vince and Bischoff have done much better in the past.

Inspiration Behind RAW Coffee Segment

Monday's bad coffee segment was inspired by a McMahon family member recently having bad coffee. The inspiration led to the angle from RAW where Roman Reigns drugged Stephanie McMahon's coffee.

Opinionated View- You know I'm for taking real life events and making them part of a story or show. But not something so go damn stupid and disgusting and pointless. What did that add to the show other than making VInce laugh. And I can just see how this went down

Stephanie: Oh god that coffee is awful. I feel like I'm about to throw up.

Vince: That give me an idea… HA HA HA HA HA

Stephanie: What?

Vince: We have been looking for an idea to punish Vickie for wanting to leave. What if she has bad coffee and throws up.

Stephanie: I have a better idea dad. What I have the bad coffee and I throw up on Vickie.

Vince: BRILLANT!
