His master politics started way before Steph tho -- he was only a no name midcarder when he somehow befriend The Kliq, which is incredible because Virgin Paul doesn't drink or party, whereas Michaels, Hall and Nash did nothing but. Still he managed to weasel his way into their group to elevate himself.
Then he started attending production meetings to cozy up to Vince and get in with the writers, which ultimately led to his initial push that put him in a storyline with Steph.
And keep in mind -- Paul isn't even attracted to women. He's a closet case who took Chyna as his beard because she was muscular with a strong jaw and broad shoulders and a clit as big as his nose, close enough to a guy for Paul to keep up the charade. So him ending up with Steph is a purely calculated political move.
Then when he got a heart attack he realized he wouldn't outlive Vince, so to speed things up he leaked the paralegal scandal to make way for him to finally own the WWE. He truly is the Cerebral Assassin.
