What if Shane McMahon is the next WWE Champion?

1. A face turn for Stephanie McMahon

Stephanie McMahon may balance out her brother's heel turn.

Stephanie McMahon has mostly played a heel for the last five years. However, she has shown glimmers of face behavior like being the face of WWE in making announcements about the Women’s Royal Rumble and Evolution.

Additionally, she has won the begrudging respect of a number of fans for moments like allowing Vickie Guerrero to throw her in a mud pit on her last night, or tapping out to Ronda Rousey in her debut match.

To strike a broader balance in the WWE Universe, it’s conceivable WWE will turn Shane heel and Stephanie face. This dynamic would particularly make sense for the annual brand wars between Raw and SmackDown, as having both brand’s leaders play heel may make it especially difficult for either side to generate sympathy.

Maybe we’ll even see Shane send some top female talent from SmackDown like Becky Lynch to attack his sister to really heat up the storyline. While Shane could reach nuclear levels of heat with his world title reign, Stephanie could come off all the better for trying to stay out of the fray, and finding creative ways to come back at her sibling.
