5 reasons: Shane and Stephanie running WWE is best for business

Shane and Stephanie McMahon are having to coexist, at least within the WWE storyline.

At WWE’s Payback pay-per-view, fans were expecting a decision from Vince McMahon regarding which of his children would have control of RAW – Shane or Stephanie. Because of the way RAW drives the WWE story as a whole, this control essentially means controlling the direction of the company.

When the time came to make the call, though, Vince chose to put both of them in charge and tasked them with figuring out how to make that work. While that seemed like a silly route to take at first, there are several reasons why it’s “best for business” for the WWE.


Natural next step

WWE fans have seen Shane and Stephanie since both of them were very young.

Shane and Stephanie controlling RAW together might initially seem like an awkward creative choice, but in reality, it’s the most logical way to go. In fact, it might be the path that is closest to what would happen in real life.

Ignoring the illogical way Shane got control after losing his match with the Undertaker, the shows he’s put on since have been great. And while it would only make sense that Stephanie would want control back, it would also make sense that Vince would want both of his kids involved in the company somehow.
