Stephanie McMahon makes her way to the ring.
Stephanie waits for the boos to subside and she says she stands before you as one of the principal owners of the WWE. As far as our society has come, women in business and women in power are seen as cold hearted, vindictive, and ruthless. That is not who she is. Take away the money and the education, she is just like you. She is a human being, a wife, and mother. Stand in her shoes as she watched her husband be brutally attacked by Roman Reigns. Imagine having to tell your daughters why Roman Reigns beat up daddy.
It is obvious that you want her to be cold hearted, vindictive, and ruthless. If that is what you want, that is what you are going to get. Roman Reigns, not only did you attack her husband, you attacked the COO of WWE. You attacked your boss. Stephanie says that leaves her no other choice . . .

Stephanie says Roman is no more than a coward. The crowd chants thank you Roman. Thank you Roman for losing again and blaming everyone but yourself. You are a failure and a disgrace.

Stephanie slaps Roman in the face and she does it a second time.
