The Authority is a professional wrestling stable which consists of leader Triple H, his real-life Stephanie McMahon, Randy Orton, Kane, and The Shield. The Authority's goal is to make life miserable for other WWE Superstars (mainly babyface wrestlers) while doing everything they can to make Orton WWE Champion.

Formation and feuds with Daniel Bryan and Big Show (2013-present)
Orton won the Money in the Bank briefcase for a future WWE Championship match during the Money in the Bank pay-per-view on July 14, 2013. On the August 12, 2013 episode of RAW, it was announced that Triple H would serve as the special guest referee during the Daniel Bryan versus John Cena for the WWE Championship at SummerSlam. Bryan won the match, but Triple H pedigreed Bryan to allow Orton to cash in his briefcase to become WWE Champion. The following weeks, the Authority, which would grew to include The Shield as security and Kane as director of operations, would harass Bryan for not fitting the mold of a WWE Champion and putting opponents such as The Miz and Dolph Ziggler in handicap matches for questioning the Authority's decisions. Triple H even fired Cody Rhodes after Rhodes lost to Orton on the September 2, 2013 episode of RAW. The Authority would also used the Big Show as a reluctant participant in several chores such as knocking out Dusty Rhodes on the September 16, 2013 episode of RAW for speaking out on his sons not being rehired.
