Stephanie McMahon announced the news of the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble match a month ago in the main event of RAW. She was joined by the RAW Women’s division in the ring when she made the announcement.
There were some fans complaining about Stephanie and the other Women in the ring breaking character for the announcement. This was because WWE stars who were just feuding were now celebrating in the ring with one another.
Stephanie explained the moment in a recent interview with the Mirror to promote the 25th Anniversary of RAW. It turns out that Stephanie and WWE wanted a real moment.
Here is what she said:
“We were chastised by some fans because we broke character and I told the women earlier in the day – they knew I was coming out but they didn’t know what I was going to say – I told them react naturally, don’t feel like you have to be in character, it’s okay for you to react however you want to react, to whatever I’m going to say. We all broke character that night. We had this very real moment with each other and with the audience because again, our audience is such a huge part of making this happen.”
