5. WITH AUTHORITY
There have been many nicknames for Stephanie over the years, probably enough to construct an entire list. I wonder what Chris Jericho circa 2001 would say about this particular shot. Stephanie knows she’s hot and knows she’s powerful; so flaunting her business attire and looking back in flirtatious fashion is only a reminder that there’s nothing anyone can do to even think about having her. Is there any harm in being attracted to a hot woman that’s perhaps, a little evil (in terms of her on screen persona)?
The most alluring aspect of this shot is Steph’s piercing blue eyes; they’re cold enough to create a hole straight through one’s heart. This shot also shows that Stephanie doesn’t have to show skin or her well known assets to melt the screen. She has one of the most beautiful faces out of all the ladies of the WWE and for this pose having her bad girl side breathe through is the correct antidote for men who need a real woman in their life.
4. SHE WAS A HOT WWE WOMEN'S CHAMPION
Nothing needs to be said in this picture, only seen. The already powerful Stephanie McMahon became more powerful when she won the WWE Women’s Championship on SmackDown on March 30th, 2000. She was deep into the McMahon-Hemsley Era storyline and her father’s on-screen persona, Mr. McMahon, was a face. He “punished’ Stephanie by putting her in a championship match with the reigning women’s champ Jacqueline.
Stephanie, who had little if any ring experience, spent most of the match running around and getting her behind whipped. Tori, a DX member at the time (in what was perhaps the crappiest version of the stable), interfered when the ref wasn’t looking and DDT’d the champ. HHH yelled at Stephanie to pin the fallen star and after the 3 count Stephanie earned her first and only Women’s title.
As you can see, she looks pretty hot with that evil, frisky smirk, with the championship belt on her shoulder, along with that vintage Stephanie McMahon Hemsley t-shirt.
3. SPECIAL GUEST REFEREE AT NO WAY OUT 2002
This is a picture of Stephanie McMahon being the special guest referee at No Way Out 2002. The match was a number one contender’s bout between Triple H and one of his biggest rivals Kurt Angle. The storyline between these three went all the way back to the summer of 2000 when there was a heavy love triangle tease. Stephanie made sure that all eyes were on her referee shirt, which was clearly customized for her frame. Who in their right mind wouldn’t want a hot referee like Stephanie making sure there’s a pinfall or a submission?
Stephanie hit her eventual real-life husband with a chair, ensuring victory for Kurt Angle. Stephanie and HHH’s on-screen characters would briefly split in the year 2002, especially since HHH was coming back from his quad injury as a full blown babyface. Stephanie continued her reign as a heel and would eventually go on to serve as Smackdown’s General Manager later in the year.
2. WHEN STEPHANIE WAS INNOCENT IN 1999.
Stephanie McMahon made her WWE Television debut in 1999 during the Higher Power storyline. The Undertaker was at his darkest and most demonic, sacrificing people left and right. The “Deadman” abducted Stephanie and proceeded to try to sacrifice hereby placing her on his iconic symbol, before she was saved by “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. This version of Stephanie McMahon’s on screen character is a sweet, innocent “daddy’s little girl.” The complete and utter 180 from the “billionaire princess” and “devilish wife of HHH” persona that would dominate most of her WWE career is amazing. Sometimes less is more is the hottest of the hot and that innocent image of Stephanie McMahon harkens back to a simpler time and a Stephanie that was still molding her eventual path in her early 20s. If there was a poll that was conducted of which version of Stephanie was perhaps the hottest, there’s a strong chance the woman from the photo above would rank pretty damn high!
1. STEPHANIE'S TONED UP IN 2016
Stephanie McMahon has been at the forefront of the WWE for almost 20 years now. We have seen the boss’s daughter grow up right before our very eyes on WWE TV. It can certainly be argued that Stephanie has gotten even hotter with age. The Billionaire Princess and the Queen on the WWE’s power couple throne sports a body that many women half of her age would do almost anything to obtain. Stephanie sports a black tank top, green athletic shorts, and a pose that’s sure to make people jealous. Stephanie has gotten so involved with her fitness that she’s even starred in her own fitness video with other WWE Divas titled Fit Series. It also doesn’t hurt that she’s married to a fitness freak. Anyway, Stephanie’s made sure to take care of herself over the years and regardless of if you love or hate the woman’s on screen or off screen character you’ve got to respect her work ethic.
