#7 Stephanie McMahon
Trending
If the previous three Superstars have changed in an obvious way, the next three entries in this list have changed subtly. Their change is not obvious to a common observer, but to a wrestling fan, they are miles away from being where they started this year.
Stephanie McMahon was a heel at the start of 2016 and she still is one, but her character has undergone subtle changes throughout the course of the year. These subtle changes have showcased a new Stephanie McMahon to us.
Earlier she used to be the bossy, power-hungry authoritative figure who listened to no one. She did what she wanted to do regardless of the opposition. But at the end of the year, she is slightly different and yet more compelling as a heel.
Now, she is still the power-hungry authoritative figure who is the heel boss. But her edges have grown soft. Her competitive spirit has been roused and she even lets Foley have his way with the show occasionally.
If carried right, her subsequent betrayal of Foley or her face turn may be more impactful than something an average fan can imagine.
