5 WWE Superstars who have feuded with a McMahon

#4 Brie Bella vs. Stephanie McMahon

Here come the girls

Perhaps it is unfair to claim that the success of the Bella Twins is down to their respective husbands. In fact, there was a time early in their relationship when Brie was the bigger star than Daniel Bryan, receiving more screen time than him and rubbing shoulders with several main event superstars.

In recent years, however, Brie has been able to work off her husband's popularity, even employing parts of his move set in order to win matches.

After his WWE Championship victory at Wrestlemania 30, Daniel Bryan was soon forced into a lengthy absence due to requiring surgery. Fans were understandably frustrated at this considering the amount of time it had taken him to reach that particular apex. In his absence, Brie was able to step into the spotlight, feuding with Stephanie McMahon, one of Daniel Bryan's long-term adversaries.

Brie had initially quit WWE in protest at how her husband was being treated, but after Stephanie went about making her sister Nikki's life a living hell, Brie made her return and entered a short but somewhat interesting rivalry with Vince's evil daughter.

In one memorable episode of RAW, Stephanie slapped the new Mrs. Danielson as she was watching the show from ringside. This prompted Stephanie to be arrested in scenes that brought a lot of satisfaction to the army of Steph haters in the WWE Universe.

The whole affair led up to a match between the two at Summerslam where a promising feud was abruptly turned into something confusing and pointless.

As Nikki came to the ring, seemingly to help her sister, she ended up joining Stephanie's side, thus becoming the face of the diva's division. After some cringe-worthy segments involving the two sisters, all seemed to be forgotten as Brie also turned heel and created Team Bella along with her sister and Alicia Fox.

As McMahon storylines go, it wasn't the strongest, but it did inadvertently bring more of the focus to the women on the roster, which one could maybe argue precipitated the events leading to the women's revolution.
