WWE reveals backstage script changes and rumor denial from 2014 Payback segment

Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella discussed the chaotic backstage planning of the 2014 Payback "I Quit" segment, where McMahon was slapped by Bella. Both recalled that Vince McMahon ordered several last‑minute script revisions, forcing Stephanie to improvise the finish. Bella described how the original plan was scrapped, leading to on‑the‑spot questioning and a hurried conclusion.

Stephanie denied long‑standing rumors that she peed herself after the slap, explaining that a shadow and the way her dress fell created the misconception. The segment was part of a storyline in which The Authority threatened Daniel Bryan (Bryan Danielson) with losing the World Heavyweight Title unless Bella quit. Bella later returned to WWE at the 2026 Royal Rumble and is slated to team with Nikki Bella and Paige at SummerSlam.
