Test, he's 6'6, about 270.
Man, that was some hang time,
over half way across the ring.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Jeff Jarrett is literally motionless,
and there's a tag.
>> Wait a minute, what is this?
>> What the hell is Stephanie McMahon,
she just got tagged King.
>> Wait a minute.
>> Stephanie McMahon
got the pin of Jarrett.
I can't believe Stephanie McMahon-
>> Here
are your winners-
>> Has
pinned the Intercontinental champion.
>> Test and Stephanie McMahon.
>> Is that an omen or
the entire McMahon family here tonight.
Will all the McMahon's be victorious?
>> I don't think that's
a message to Chyna.
[MUSIC]
>> Wait, there's Stephanie.
Stephanie's stopping her dad.
>> Wait a minute
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> She wants to hit him.
>> She wants to, I think you're right.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Stephanie is gonna hit Helmsley.
>> My God.
>> Is this what?
Is this spousal abuse?
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Hit him.
>> Stephanie can't do it.
>> No.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> God almighty,
the sledgehammer right
deep in the abdomen.
And now the, geez.
Helmsley almost took McMahon's
head off with the sledgehammer.
Stephanie didn't have the heart to
use a sledgehammer on Triple H.
There's the cover.
[SOUND]
>> And Triple H has won this blood bath.
>> Here is your winner, Triple H.
[MUSIC]
>> God, how much more can you ask of
the 53-year-old owner of this company?
[MUSIC]
McMahon has been busted
open from ear to ear.
Triple H just used a sledgehammer
on his father in law.
And unfortunately for Stephanie.
God almighty, don't you dare.
You son of a [BLEEP] don't you hit her.
>> What's he doing?
>> Don't you hit her.
Dammit, he's gonna hit Stephanie.
>> Come on.
>> What kind of human being is he?
For God's sakes.
[NOISE] How mad could he be?
>> Stephanie McMahon had to watch this.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> What?
>> King, what is this?
>> For the love of God.
>> What?
What is this?
[NOISE]
>> Stephanie McMahon,
and she's turned her back on her father.
[MUSIC]
>> And Vince is not even aware of it King.
Vince McMahon is unconscious.
>> What?
>> Listen to these sadistic
bloodthirsty people.
>> How can you say Stephanie doesn't
deserve this after everything she's done.
>> Ring the bell.
>> The referee rung the bell,
he started the match.
Referee Earl Hepner has started the match.
This match is underway.
>> Wait a minute.
>> Hey, look out.
>> Jacqueline going after Stephanie.
>> No, she's got her.
>> Jacqueline going after
Stephanie McMahon Helmsley.
Hey, X-Pac from behind just tripped her.
>> See that?
>> X-Pac just tripped her.
The referee is outside the ring.
>> Hey, look at this.
>> What's Tori doing?
>> Tori.
>> DDT.
Tori just planted Jacqueline.
>> Did you see that?
>> Yeah, I saw it.
>> Now, the referee is back in.
Stephanie doesn't know what to do.
>> Has the match started?
>> Triple H told her to cover Jacqueline.
Wait a minute.
I cannot believe it.
>> New WWF Women's Champion.
She did it.
>> Here is your winner and the new World
Wrestling Federation Women's Champion,
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.
>> What an athlete Michael,
she did it, it runs in the family.
>> Give me a break.
>> At Invasion, this new entity WCW and
ECW is gonna kick the WWF's ass.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> My God,
my God
>> Wait, wait, wait,
I get one more thing for you, one more.
And I'm also personally responsible and
privilege to introduce to
you the new owner of ECW.
I believe you know this person quite well.
Ladies and gentlemen give it up for
Vince's daughter,
Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.
>> The new owner of WCW
[MUSIC]
My God.
Shane on WCW and the princess,
Vince McMahon's baby girl now owns ECW.
[MUSIC]
For the love of God, the sins of the
father are costing us all here in the WWF.
I do not believe this.
[MUSIC]
July 9th, 2001, a date that will
live in sport's entertainment infamy.
Vince's son Shane owns WCW.
Vince's daughter on ECW.
[MUSIC]
>> Now Ric, with all due respect
in this ring, you are the man.
But pardon the expression,
when it comes to business, I'm the man.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> And while I have no doubt
that you will annihilate my father,
in this very ring at the Royal Rumble.
>> Look at that.
>> You need me-
>> Look at this.
>> To be your business partner.
>> What is he doing?
>> What are you doing?
>> What is he doing?
Is that some sort of-
>> Tell them all you came here for
a shot at the title, baby.
>> Is he having a-
>> Woo.
[SOUND]
>> What do you think this is, Ric?
Some big party?
You think my father won't hesitate for
one second to cut your heart out or
slit your throat?
You need me Flair,
you need me on your side, and guess what?
You have four days to make your decision.
I'll have my cellphone
on all weekend long.
But come this Monday,
whether you like it or not, my husband,
The Game Triple H is
coming back to the WWF.
And come this Monday
the game will really begin.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Wow.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> What about that?
>> Stephanie just slapped
the co-owner of the WWF.
>> She slapped the words
right out of his mouth.
Flair is speechless for
the first time in his life.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Who could it be?
>> So with that in mind,
allow me to introduce you to the new
General Manager of SmackDown,
Stephanie McMahon.
>> [APPLAUSE]
Meet Mr.
McMahon's daughter, Stephanie McMahon.
>> As you all know my man.
There's only one Stephanie McMahon and
you're looking at her.
She's now the boss.
>> The SmackDown superstars in the back,
[MUSIC]
I don't think any of them
can believe what's going on.
Ruthless aggression, Stephanie McMahon's
got ruthless aggression in her blood line.
[MUSIC]
>> Welcome to my show, SmackDown.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Let me tell you one thing Heyman.
You do not ever speak about my children,
ever again.
Do you understand that?
If you really wanna make things personal,
let's call what these lawsuits are really
all about, because they're not about
Brock Lesnar, they're about you.
They're about you masking your
failures as a businessman.
Your failures at WCW.
Your failures at ECW.
And your failures at WWE.
You call yourself a visionary,
when it comes to my father Vince McMahon,
you're just looking in
the rear view mirror.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Daddy?
We're gonna talk about Daddy now?
>> Shut up.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> At least my daddy had the guts
a few years ago,
to step into the ring with my husband.
Which is more than I can say for
Brock Lesnar.
At least my kids, will be proud of
their father and their grandfather,
unlike your children Paul,
Because your children are ashamed.
They're ashamed of you.
They're ashamed to be your children
because they know that their father is
nothing more than a professional parasite.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> You know what Stephanie?
I'm sorry, you're right,
I should be thinking more like you.
I should be acting more like you and
instead of dating superstars,
maybe I should marry one.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Let's not
get started on your daddy issues.
I mean, that's a whole other can of worms.
>> Okay, AJ, how is it that you so humbly
put it before that you're brilliant?
If you're so brilliant, I would have
expected something a little more original.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> I am original,
what I did to Kaitlyn,
that was highly original.
That was cunning, that was well-planned,
well-executed, months in the making.
That was my masterpiece.
>> AJ, you wanna give me those crazy eyes?
Do you forget who you're talking to?
I'm a McMahon.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Nobody does crazy better than us.
Now, if you wanna be a Diva's Champion,
I suggest like I said before
you start acting like one.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> I am,
I am the Diva's Champion, Stephanie.
And the only reason that you're out here
is not because you're disappointed in me.
It's because I am you.
Only younger.
[NOISE] I don't have the fancy pants here.
>> Now, AJ,
you are the Divas Champion, but
please remember that I can take
all of that away from you.
As a matter of fact, if I want to,
you won't have a job anymore.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> I'm sorry, as you were saying?
>> [APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC]
>> Stephanie wasn't telling stories.
Apparently there was a line of
divas waiting to come out here.
>> Congratulations AJ,
you did it, you won.
>> So Kaitlyn, I'm gonna give you a vie
because of everything that you've been
through the past couple of weeks,
but do not ever interrupt me again.
And that goes for all of you.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> [NOISE]
I've been waiting do to this.
[SOUND]
>> [NOISE]
>> You hit like a girl.
You hit like a girl.
You hit like a girl.
You hit like a girl.
>> How's that?
How's that?
[NOISE]
>> Okay, if I agree to face you at
SummerSlam you agree to drop all charges.
>> If you wrestle me at SummerSlam,
I will drop all the charges.
[NOISE]
>> Okay, yes, yes.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Yes, fine,
you can have your match at Summerslam but
Brie,
you have to consider that at Summerslam.
[SOUND]
>> I'm gonna make you my [BLEEP].
[NOISE]
>> You see what's ironic right now,
is you're running your mouth about
the Johnsons and the McMahons.
But the truth is, you wouldn't be in power
if it wasn't for Vince McMahon's [BLEEP]
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Crass as always, I mean.
[NOISE]
>> What are you gonna do about it, Rock?
What are you gonna do about it?
You gonna hit a woman?
You gonna hit me, Stephanie McMahon?
This is my ring, my house,
my stadium, my people.
[NOISE] Get the hell out of here now.
I said, get out.
Out.
>> I'm the disgrace?
>> Yes, you are.
>> I'm the disgrace?
No, no, Steph, you are a disgrace.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> And your husband is a disgrace.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> No, no, no, matter of fact,
your whole family is a disgrace.
>> [APPLAUSE]
[NOISE]
>> Just one more thing.
>> I'm not gonna fire you cuz
my husband asked me not, too.
But I tell you what,
there's someone on the way to the area
right now who just might, and that's
the chairman of the board of this company.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Vincent
Kennedy McMahon.
>> My goodness.
[MUSIC]
>> We want Shane.
We want Shane.
We want Shane.
We want Shane.
We want Shane.
We want Shane.
We want Shane.
We want Shane.
We want Shane.
We want Shane.
We want Shane.
>> I work every single day of my life
often sacrificing time with my family for
all of you.
And this is the respect that you show me.
>> [NOISE]
>> You chant, we want Shane.
>> [NOISE]
>> Shane,
who blackmailed my father and the WWE.
You cheer that, you revere that.
What does that say about you?
What does that say about my brother?
And what did Shane do with all this
information he has over my dad?
Well, he asked for a multi-year vacation.
Where has he been for
the past seven years?
But then Shane can just waltz in,
The Prodigal Son, and demand to take over.
Why?
Cuz he's a Mcmahon, because he's a man?
No, no, I'm sorry, it's because of his
family's legacy that he's spoke so
passionately about last week.
Well, Shane, if you really loved and
supported your family then it would
have been nice if you showed
up at least a couple of times.
No, no, no, you guys think about it.
He hasn't even been to a WrestleMania,
let alone a Monday Night Raw.
I call that abandonment, that's certainly
not supportive of any of you, and
it's not supportive of my family.
>> What?
>> Shane doesn't care about my
grandfather, my father, and
he certainly doesn't care about me or my
family, that point he's made very clear.
And you know what's really sad?
What's really sad is
that I love my brother.
I do, I love my brother, but
I don't respect him because every
single time I let my guard down he stabs
me in the back like he did last week.
It eats my brother alive that Hunter and
I are married.
It eats him alive that I'm in this
business and that I wield so much power.
And Shane, you mentioned your sons
are in line to take over WWE and
you know what,
my nephews will have that right, but
they'll have to fight for
it just like my daughters will.
I noticed you conveniently
left them out last week.
>> What?
>> But Shane, what makes you
think you can just come back,
because you're a man and
take over my show and my business?
>> What?
>> The very thought of Hunter and I having
to work for you makes me wanna vomit.
>> What?
>> But I don't have to worry about that,
do I, Shane?
Because at WrestleMania,
The Undertaker is not only going to
defeat you at Hell In a Cell,
he is going to dismember you.
>> What?
>> And then you can take
a more permanent vacation.
>> What?
>> But you know what, I kinda get it,
looking out at all of you.
I understand why you cheer him,
because Shane McMahon is
a reflection of all of you,
narcissistic, apathetic, lazy,
weak-minded wastes of life.
You're all entitled, you think
the world owes you something that you
don't have to work for it,
you got a chip on your shoulder.
Well, guess what, sooner or
later, reality comes around and
it slaps you right in the face.
Now, you may not agree with the decisions
that Triple H and I have made but
there is no denying our work ethic.
There is no denying our
legacy of excellence.
And there is no denying the fact
that sooner or later all of you
will be forced to show your respect and
bow down to The Authority.
Bow down to the king, and
bow down to your queen, me.
>> [NOISE]
>> Absolutely convulsed.
Stephanie McMahon tonight
saying the fact that she and
her husband, the work for
Shane McMahon if Shane wins
at WrestleMania makes her want to,
quote, vomit.
>> What's the matter,
Mick, your mic not working?
>> [NOISE]
>> I gave you a golden opportunity to
be the general manager of
Monday Night Raw, and what do you do?
You physically attack my husband,
Triple H.
>> Then I give you this golden
opportunity to give your farewell address
in your home state of New York and
you can't even do that right, Foley.
You know why I had to
give you index cards?
>> Why?
>> Because you screw up
everything you have to say.
You can't remember a thing.
>> You can't get it right, Mick.
You say, this isn't about you.
It's all about you,
it's never been about them,
it's never been about the locker room,
it;s never been about WrestleMania.
It's about you being liked.
This is what it's about
>> Foley, Foley, Foley.
>> That's what you care about.
You don't care about what's best for
business.
You can't even make the tough decisions,
Mick.
So therefore,
I'm going to have to do it for you.
And there is something that I've been
wanting to say for a very long time.
I am.
>> [APPLAUSE].
>> Mick Foley, I've got two words for you.
>> [APPLAUSE].
>> You're fired.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Rousey's got Triple H.
And Stephanie from
behind puts Rousey
through a table.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> But
these moments, yes, Triple H said,
they don't just happen
because of opportunity.
They don't just happen,
because of incredible talent.
They don't just happen because someone or
something deems it important.
They happen because all
of you deem it important.
They happen because you deem it worthy
of being a part of what you love.
You demanded more opportunities for
the women in WWE, and you started
a hashtag called Give Divas A Chance
that trended worldwide for three days.
Igniting a revolution
across our industry and
opening doors for women that some
of them had only dreamed of.
Because of all of you 32nd
matches became main events.
And because of all of you, divas became
the superstars they were born to be.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Because of all of you, men and
women, using your voices for change,
we are able to provide the platform to
show the world that women can do anything
and be anything they want to be.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Because of all of you,
we are able to stand here and
make another first ever announcement.
On October 28th,
over 50 women then, now, and
forever will participate in
an event called Evolution.
And that event,
I am privileged to announced,
will be the first-ever
all-women's pay-per-view.
>> [APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC]
>> A standing ovation here tonight
live in Cincinnati as history is made.
[MUSIC]
