We are back and The Vincent J McMahon Legacy of Excellence Award Trophy has returned to the ring and Stephanie McMahon makes her way to accept her award . . . a week later.
Stephanie says last week, she had the honor of having this award bestowed on her by her father. That was until her insolent brother interrupted her honor. Stephanie says that she is going to finish her speech and she demands the respect that she deserves.
Stephanie says that you can chant for Shane, but he is not here tonight and he will not be here after the Undertaker is done with him at Wrestlemania.
Stephanie says that Legacy and family . . . legacy and family . . .
Stephanie closes her speech and she takes the trophy in her arms like a baby. Stephanie says that she works every single day of her life, sacrificing time with her family for you and this is the respect you show her? You chant We Want Shane. Stephanie knocks over the table.
Shane blackmailed her father and the WWE. You cheer that and what does that say about you? What does that say about her brother? What did Shane do with all of this information? He took a multi year vacation? Where was he? Can he come back because he is a man? Because he is a McMahon? It was because of your family legacy.
If you cared about your family legacy, you would have shown up a few times. You have not been to a Wrestlemania or a Monday Night Raw during that time. He did not care about his father or grandfather and he does not care about you.. Stephanie says it is sad that she loves her brother. She does not respect him because every time she puts her guard down, he stabs her in the back.
It eats him alive that she is married to Hunter. It eats him alive that she wields so much power. Your sons will have the chance to try to gain power in the WWE, but so will her daughters. You cannot come in and take over like you threatened. It makes her want to vomit over the thought of you in charge.
That will not happen because the Undertaker will dismember you at Wrestlemania and you will not have to be back. Shane McMahon is an reflection of you. You are all wastes of life. You think you are entitled to everything, but reality comes around and slaps you in the face.
You may not agree with the decisions they have made, but you cannot deny their work ethic or their legacy. You will be forced to show your respect to the Authority. You will have to bow down to the King and bow down to your QUEEN . . . ME!
