Stephanie McMahon has built a Hall of Fame career for herself with her work in WWE. She began as a model for the company’s franchise, became an in-ring wrestler, and served the company in a managerial role for years. Although she has stepped away from the Stamford-based promotion now, she still continues to be highly supportive of her husband, Triple H, and his wrestling ventures.
McMahon was present in the crowd in the front row during the latest episode of SmackDown. The commentators mentioned how it had been a great week for her. She, alongside Shawn Michaels and Nick Khan, recently surprised The Cerebral Assassin by announcing that he would be headlining the 2025 Hall of Fame class heading into WrestleMania 41.
The Billion Dollar Princess resigned from her position as co-CEO in January 2023, a few months after her father, Vince McMahon, stepped away from the company. Since then, she has been spotted backstage and in the live crowd of several WWE shows. She even made a surprise appearance and cut a promo to open Night 2 of WrestleMania XL. As Triple H stated previously, she has once again started to enjoy spending time near the company.

McMahon also announced on social media that she would be present in Las Vegas in April for WrestleMania 41. It is still not clear what capacity she would be appearing in. She could once again hype up the crowd prior to the show. Alternatively, she might be there to simply support her husband at the two biggest nights of the wrestling calendar.
Stephanie McMahon talks about the importance of WWE in her life and stepping away
As stated previously, Stephanie McMahon has spent a lot of time away from WWE over the past two years. During a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, she talked about her experience of stepping away from the wrestling business,
The former Women’s Champion said that she would never truly get away from WWE. It is a part of who she is and what she loves. After all, she grew up in the business, and her entire life revolved around it. She also talked about how WWE did not have child models when she was little. Thus, it was all the employee’s children who posed with the merchandise.
I never stopped being proud, ever. I do think I wanted to disappear for a little while, and I kinda did. And it was good for me, I needed it. And now I’m back.
