He added that it’s because she is very much invested in her character whenever she steps foot inside the ring; he further says that she is always three steps ahead of her opponent and always works her way out.

“Because she’s very real out there; authentic. Whether she knows what you’re going to say or not know what you’re going to say, she’s three steps ahead at all times. If you’re not four steps ahead, you’re playing catch-up with her. And she’s so invested in the character.”

Heyman further added that Stephanie is often underrated whenever the WWE Universe thinks about who is the best talker in the industry.

“Just the little nuances that she does, the way she can sit there and stare you down and hold back the smile, but the smile starts to break through. A very underrated performer, and an interesting, intriguing, challenging person to stand across the ring with microphones in your hand. It can go different ways really quickly with Stephanie.” Heyman confessed.
