The war between the McMahon family has raged on for decades now, as they seemingly fail to run out of new twists and turns and ways to keep them all relevant. 

2001 was a pivotal year in the familial rivalry, as Shane McMahon bought WCW from under his father's nose, right before the two met in a Street Fight at WrestleMania X-Seven, which came about because of Vince's treatment of poor Linda (which had been enabled by Stephanie). 

After Triple H went down with his quad injury and the Two-Man Power Trip Disbanded, Steph needed something else to do. 

And so on the July 8, 2001 episode of Raw, after ECW had joined forces with WCW to form The Alliance, Shane introduced his sister as the new owner of ECW, much to the shock and disbelief of Vince. 

The Invasion is rightly maligned for being a massively wasted opportunity, but it had its moments, including this one.
