How Stephanie McMahon Fired Ex-WWE Star Following Controversy




Stephanie McMahon has never been afraid to lay down the law as a WWE authority figure. In 2014, the former WWE Chairwoman's ruthlessness was on full display during a memorable segment with then-RAW General Manager Brad Maddox. 


On the May 19, 2014, episode of RAW, Seth Rollins defeated Batista via disqualification. The Animal's Evolution stablemates Randy Orton and Triple H served as special timekeeper and ring announcer, respectively. 

By contrast, Rollins' Shield allies Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns were banned from ringside before Maddox allowed them to join the commentary team. 

 A week later, Triple H lambasted Maddox on RAW before Stephanie McMahon put the nervous GM in his place: "Brad, look, I heard what happened. 


Apparently, you were roughed up and wound up in the trainer's room. You felt like you didn't have a choice. But, unfortunately, right now we feel like we don't have a choice." 

 At that point, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H's fellow Authority member Kane made his way down to the ring. The Big Red Machine hit Maddox with a Chokeslam and Tombstone Piledriver before Stephanie took to the microphone again. 


Vince McMahon's daughter then smiled as she informed the helpless official that he was fired.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Patrick Mahomes tenth overall in the 2017 NFL Draft. No one doubts that decision anymore after the former Texas Tech standout led the AFC West squad to two Super Bowl championships in four seasons.   But Mahomes wearing the Chiefs’ colors nearly didn’t happen, as the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player revealed to Pardon My Take’s Dan “Big Cat” Katz. “Was there one team that you thought for sure you were gonna go to?” Mahomes answered: “There’s a couple of teams. The Chiefs, I thought for sure I would go here.  The Cardinals, they liked me a lot. And the Saints, those are the teams that really liked me.” He added: "Then the Saints, though. I'd be still backing up Drew [Brees], man...When the guys throwing for the stuff he's throwing for, you're fine with just backing him up and learning as much as possible."   The Cardinals had the 13th overall pick in that year’s draft. But with Mahomes going to Kansas City, they took outside li...
