Stephanie McMahon says she “saw stars” after getting SLAPPED by this WWE superstar
While remembering an iconic WWE RAW moment, WWE CBO Stephanie McMahon revealed that Brie Bella hit her so hard that she started seeing stars.
WWE CBO Stephanie McMahon recently appeared on WWE’s The Bump where she talked about The Bella Twins and remembered her entertaining SummerSlam match against Brie Bella. Though Stephanie McMahon claimed that her rivalry with Brie Bella was iconic, she also recalled a particular moment that caught her by surprise. During a segment on WWE RAW, Brie Bella slapped Stephanie McMahon to hype up their ongoing feud. According to McMahon, Brie Bella hit her so hard that she started 'seeing stars’.
“Definitely like, I saw stars. She got me so good so I don’t know, maybe there was something built up in that moment,” Stephanie McMahon added.
The time Brie Bella slapped Stephanie McMahon
In 2014, Daniel Bryan was the face of WWE and was feuding with The Authority, which included Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, Kane and others. During an episode of RAW, Stephanie McMahon threatened to fire Brie Bella if an injured Bryan did not relinquish the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Payback. Daniel Bryan refused to relinquish his title, which forced his wife to quit the company. However, before leaving the company, Brie Bella slapped Stephanie McMahon, starting a new feud.

A month later, Brie Bella returned to WWE as a fan and forced Stephanie McMahon to attack her. She then called the police and accused McMahon of attacking a WWE fan during live programming. Brie Bella later dropped all charges after she was rehired by the company and received a match against McMahon at SummerSlam 2014.
