By day, Stephanie McMahon is a top executive in WWE – a multi-billion dollar company with designs on being the next Disney. By night, she’s one of the show’s biggest villains.
43-year-old Stephanie is the daughter of Vince McMahon, arguably the greatest sports entertainment promoter of all time, and sister of Shane McMahon, another on-off on-screen character in the relentless, never-ending carnival soap opera that is WWE.
But make no mistake about it – she blazes her own trail rather than anyone else’s, and is doing a good job of it, too, with an estimated net worth in excess of $60 million.
That’s why it should come as no surprise that she’s crazy enough to swap the suit for the spandex for occasional appearances, too - even if McMahon hasn’t actively wrestled since Wrestlemania in 2018 when she and husband, Triple H, took on Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey.
Stephanie is no stranger to high-pressure situations in her day-to-day role, of course, but she explained to me in an interview that there’s nothing quite like the rush of adrenaline you get from performing in front of a live audience, even if her on-screen character isn’t likely to return any time soon.
When asked about comparing her roles, she said:
As ever, thanks to WWE for organising the above interview time with Stephanie. In the UK, WWE has a brand new home on BT Sport. Visit wwe.com for more.
