Stephanie McMahon made a surprise appearance on Raw yesterday and slapped some sense into the WWE champion Cody Rhodes.

McMahon was urging Cody to think like The Viper if he wants to beat him and retain the title at WrestleMania and mentioned that his father Dusty would know that better than anyone.

Cody told Stephanie that he was not his father and told Stephanie that she was not hers either, as fans inside MSG popped for the comment. The champ had an instant regret look on his face and then came the famous Stephanie slap.

McMahon insisted she was there to help Cody and unless he changes his way, WrestleMania will be the last time he will be introduced as the undisputed WWE champion.

Before she walked out, Rhodes grabbed her by the arm and turned her around and the two came face-to-face.

“Stephanie McMahon…I got two words for you…thank you,” Rhodes said, as McMahon smiled.
