Stephanie McMahon has played an important part in WWE for many years, contributing to its success in various ways. Her recent departure from her role as co-CEO marked a turning point in her WWE career.
Despite a surprising cameo at WrestleMania 40, Vince Russo, a former WWE writer, blasted her previous job in WWE Creative, calling it Vince McMahon’s “biggest mistake.” WrestleMania 40 began with a noteworthy promo from McMahon, reflecting on her experience with the event and applauding Paul Levesque’s leadership.
Past, Present, and Future
While McMahon’s on-screen presence usually excites fans, her previous role as director of creative has received mixed reviews. As Chief Brand Officer, she has helped shape WWE’s brand strategy and marketing.
Russo’s comment, however, calls McMahon’s creative ability into doubt, implying that it was a bad judgment. McMahon’s WrestleMania 40 debut was a well-kept secret, piqueing interest in her future television appearances.
It is unclear whether McMahon will return to WWE screens, leaving fans to speculate about her next step in the company’s storyline.
Stephanie McMahon’s tenure at WWE has been diverse, ranging from her key role as Chief Brand Officer to her on-screen presence as an authority figure. While her recent WrestleMania 40 presence was unexpected, it revived debate over her previous efforts and potential future involvement in the company’s storyline.
