Stephanie McMahon-Levesque better known by her maiden name Stephanie McMahon, is the Executive Vice President of Talent and Creative Writing for World Wrestling Entertainment. She is the daughter of (WWE) Chairman Vince McMahon and WWE CEO Linda McMahon, and is the younger sister of Shane McMahon. She is married to Paul "Triple H" Levesque, with whom she has one daughter, Aurora Rose Levesque.
Stephanie regularly appeared
on WWE television between 1999 and 2003 (almost always as a heel). She is both
a former WWE Women's Champion and a former SmackDown! General Manager.
World Wrestling Federation
Stephanie was born in Hartford, Connecticut. After
that, she modeled some of the WWF merchandise. In early 1999, she became involved
in an onscreen storyline involving her father, Vince McMahon, and The Undertaker.
The Undertaker stalked and abducted Stephanie and almost "married" her
in the middle of the ring in an "Unholy Wedding" ceremony performed
by Paul Bearer, until Steve Austin, her dad's then nemesis, rescued her. The Undertaker
did this to torment Vince, or so it seemed but later it was revealed that he and
Vince had been in cahoots the entire time. Stephanie and her mother Linda sided
with Vince's nemesis Steve. Vince responded by having the Undertaker kidnap Stephanie
a second time.
Stephanie began a relationship with wrestler Test which led to a heated feud between Test and her older brother, Shane McMahon, who viewed Test as not being good enough for Stephanie. After Test defeated Shane at SummerSlam (1999) in a "love her or leave her" Greenwich Streetfight, Shane stopped objecting and went out of his way for his sister and for Test, proving to them he was on their side. Stephanie and Test went on to team together in a match on September 20, 1999, with the couple defeating Jeff Jarrett and Debra. The couple were eventually engaged, but their original wedding date had to be postponed after The British Bulldog accidentally hit Stephanie with a thrown trash can, giving her a concussion and amnesia. A later date was set, but during the in-ring ceremony, Triple H showed a video which revealed that he had drugged Stephanie and taken her to Las Vegas, Nevada where they were married in a drive-through ceremony. This effectively ended the relationship between her and Test. Stephanie seemed to abhor Triple H at first, but eventually revealed that she had sided with him and that the wedding was real, a revenge plot against her father for the aforementioned kidnappings.
McMahon-Helmsley era
In 2000, with Vince McMahon absent
as a result of injuries inflicted upon him by Triple H at the 1999 Armageddon
event, Triple H and Stephanie became the onscreen owners of the WWF, a period
known as the "McMahon-Helmsley Era" and dominated by the McMahon-Helmsley
Faction. Triple H held the WWF Championship and Stephanie held the WWF Women's
Championship after several interferences and a DDT from Tori against her opponent,
defending champion Jacqueline. Stephanie reconciled with her father and brother
at WrestleMania 2000 when they helped Triple H defend his title against The Rock,
leaving Linda McMahon as the only face in the McMahon family. Linda and Stephanie
would exchange slaps throughout the summer of 2000(She admitted in an interview
that she cried emotionally for doing this) . Throughout 2000, Stephanie would
use heel wrestlers to try and eliminate her enemies: The Rock, Chris Jericho and
Lita. Jericho in particular enraged Stephanie by calling her a "Filthy, dirty,
disgusting, brutal, skanky, bottom-feeding trash bag ho," leading to a series
of matches between him and Triple H. Stephanie lost the WWF's Women's Championship
to Lita in the first women's RAW main event match on August 21, 2000.
In late 2000, a love triangle storyline began featuring Stephanie, Triple H and Kurt Angle. One of the most memorable points of the storyline took place during the Summerslam 2000 Pay Per View as Triple H inadvertently knocked Angle out before EMTs carried him unconscious from the arena. The storyline was resolved officially at Unforgiven when Triple H defeated Angle with a pedigree following a low blow from McMahon, proving her loyalty to him. However, after taking several shots from both men accidentally during a segment on "Raw," Triple H demanded Stephanie stay away from ringside during his matches. Upset by this, McMahon became Angle's manager and was in his corner when he defeated The Rock for the WWF Championship at the '00 No Mercy. The alliance was short lived, as Triple H demanded she withdraw her services.
The internal disputes between the McMahons led to Shane siding with his mother against Stephanie and Vince. Linda was in a comatose state due to the stress of being asked for a divorce by Vince, and Vince took the opportunity to have a public affair with Trish Stratus. Stephanie briefly feuded with Stratus, defeating her at No Way Out 2001, but eventually both settled their differences and sided with Vince. Over the next few weeks, Vince made it clear that he favored Stephanie over Stratus, even allowing Stephanie to cover Stratus with mud using a mop in the middle of the ring. At WrestleMania X-Seven, Shane defeated Vince in a Street Fight. During the course of the match, Stratus slapped Vince and chased Stephanie from ringside, apparently upset with Vince's constant misogynistic treatment of her.
Following Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H's alliance with Mr. McMahon, Stephanie returned as Triple H's manager at ringside. Following Triple H's injury in May of 2001, she disappeared from WWF television.
Invasion
Stephanie
later returned and remained as a second time heel on the July 9, 2001 edition
of RAW by revealing that she had purchased ECW and intended to bankrupt the WWF
(in reality, the ownership of ECW assets at this time was highly disputed), along
with her brother Shane, who had become the onscreen owner of WCW. The two groups
then merged to form a "supergroup" known as The Alliance. Stephanie
was suddenly unemployed after her wrestlers were defeated by the WWF at the 2001
Survivor Series in a five-on-five, Winner Takes All elimination match. The night
after The Alliance was defeated, Shane and Stephanie came to the ring to confront
Vince. While Shane earned Vince's trust by admitting that he had lost and then
leaving quietly, Stephanie tried to say that Shane put her up to it, and it was
all his fault. In the end, she was dragged from the building by security personnel
because she refused to leave the ring by her own accord. It was revealed later
that night that she had sold her "WWF stock" to Ric Flair.
Furthermore, this particular time of Stephanie's career would showcase a few other noteworthy moments. On the September 13, 2001 edition of SmackDown!, Stephanie caused a bit of controversy, albeit unintentionally, by comparing her father's early 90's steroid trial to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Stephanie said, "A few years ago, some people tried to destroy my family. They attacked my father's reputation, they attacked my mother's reputation, and they attacked the World Wrestling Federation. They tried to rip us apart ... but all they did was make my family stronger. And that's exactly how America feels right now. Because on Tuesday, America was attacked. Because America is a united nation. And together, we stand strong. I am incredibly proud to be an American citizen, and I will stand up for my rights and my freedom."
On the lighter side of things, a few weeks earlier, Stephanie would lead The Alliance in singing "Wind Beneath Our Ring", a take off of Bette Midler's hit song, "Wind Beneath My Wings". Moments later, Kurt Angle would put an end to the group song by spraying The Alliance with milk via hose -- including Stephanie. Jim Ross would declare the drenched Stephanie as being a "Dairy Queen" and a subsequent video package would highlight a brief snippet of Stephanie's reaction in slow motion.
A few weeks earlier, Chris Jericho would humiliate Stephanie by pieing her in her face. Stephanie would continue to be tormented as Jericho would make light of her chest's apparent sudden growth (it had been speculated in recent weeks by fans that Stephanie had undergone a breast augmentation) the very next week on RAW. On the TitanTron, Jericho put up a video still of a less-endowed Stephanie from the prior year alongside a recent shot of much more buxom Stephanie to compare and contrast. Jericho would continue the torment by saying, "It seems like our little billionaire princess sure has grown over the last year...well, in two specific places at least - talk about foreign objects - you wanna say let the bodies hit the floor? I would say let the boobies hit the floor!" By her own admission, Stephanie would confirm the breast augmentation rumors on the Opie and Anthony Show the very next day. Behind-the-scenes, amid much discussion and speculation regarding her chest, Stephanie gave her approval for it to be acknowledged on WWE programming.
Divorce
Stephanie
returned in 2002 when Triple H made a comeback as a face, but the couple began
having problems. The couple "divorced" after Stephanie (kayfabe) claimed
to be pregnant in order to trick Triple H into renewing their marital vows. The
split was acrimonious to say the least; Triple H literally complied with the "fifty-fifty"
divorce settlement by giving Stephanie the front half of her Corvette and Stephanie
claimed that Triple H had abused his bulldog Lucy, in order to gain custody to
spite him. Lucy was later run-over by a limousine, much to the distress of Triple
H, who chased Stephanie around the ring and humiliated her by pulling her into
the ring by the seat of her pants, in the process revealing part of her buttocks.
This revealed a darker, even more sinister side to Stephanie. In order to gain revenge upon Triple H, Stephanie began foiling his attempts to become the WWF Undisputed Champion. After Triple H won the Royal Rumble, Stephanie appointed herself special guest referee in a match between Kurt Angle and Triple H at No Way Out 2002 with Triple H's WrestleMania title shot on the line. Though Angle won thanks to Stephanie's somewhat suspect officiating, Triple H defeated him the next night to regain his title shot. Stephanie then aligned herself with current champion and former enemy, Chris Jericho. Despite Stephanie's best efforts, Jericho lost to Triple H at WrestleMania X8 on March 17. McMahon also received a pedigree from her "ex" during the contest. On the March 25 episode of RAW, Jericho and Stephanie lost to Triple H in a Triple Threat Match for the Undisputed Title, with the stipulation that, if Stephanie was pinned, she would be forced to leave the WWF.
World Wrestling Entertainment
General Manager of SmackDown!
On July 18, 2002, Stephanie
returned to the WWF (renamed WWE following a lawsuit from the World Wildlife Fund)
as the general manager of SmackDown!. She acquired talents such as The Undertaker,
Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Brock Lesnar, Matt Hardy and Crash Holly from the
RAW brand, but in return lost Triple H, Chris Jericho, Christian, Lance Storm,
Test, Stacy Keibler, Rico, Gregory Helms, Randy Orton, Batista, and Al Snow. She
feuded with RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff throughout 2002, though the enemies
inexplicably shared a kiss at a Halloween party in which Stephanie was dressed
as a witch and Bischoff was disguised as her father underneath a mask. Stephanie
was given credit for the return of the WWE United States Championship and for
the creation of the WWE Tag Team Championship. She was also credited with signing
Hulk Hogan back to SmackDown!, which caused friction between herself and her father
in the storyline that followed.
Stephanie was involved in an amusing segment with Triple H at the RAW 10th Anniversary show, where the two were winners of the "Shut Up and Kiss Me" award. Stephanie jokingly stated that "where else can you get drugged up at your own wedding, marry a loser, fake a pregnancy, get divorced and then make a comeback to head up the greatest wrestling show on TV today, SmackDown?"
Stephanie was ousted from her position after a long feud with her father, Vince McMahon. Though he originally had been the one to appoint Stephanie as the General Manager, he began to resent her growing independence as well as her attempts to stop him from pursuing an affair with Sable. Stephanie wanted him to fire her but Vince wanted her to "respectfully resign". When Stephanie refused, Vince put her in a series of matches with such superstars as A-Train and Brock Lesnar which led up to the first ever "father daughter I quit match" at No Mercy 2003. Stephanie McMahon was accompanied by her mother, the CEO of WWE Linda McMahon and Sable accompanied Vince McMahon in their match. Throughout the match Linda and Stephanie exchanged slaps with Sable when she tried to interfere. Stephanie did not say "I Quit", but lost when Linda, at ringside threw in a towel on her behalf because Vince wouldn't release a choke he had on her with a lead pipe. After the match, Vince put his hand over Linda's face and shoved her to the canvas when she tried to see about her daughter. Paul Heyman succeeded Stephanie McMahon as the new Smackdown! General Manager.
On March 13, 2004, Stephanie attended the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and on September 23, she appeared on the fifth year anniversary episode of SmackDown! and talked about her favorite SmackDown! moments.
Returns
2005:
Stephanie returned to WWE TV on October 3, 2005 at WWE Homecoming, when she confronted
Stone Cold Steve Austin after he had stunned her father and brother. She slapped
Austin, but was then herself stunned. She appeared on RAW for two weeks thereafter,
and was involved in the firing of Austin's friend, RAW announcer Jim Ross and
the booking of a match between Ross's replacement, Coach, and Austin at Taboo
Tuesday 2005, with Ross's WWE future on the line. However, the match was cancelled
after Austin suffered a minor injury that, combined with his unwillingness to
job to Coach, led to him no-showing the subsequent episode of RAW.
Stephanie had nasal surgery to help her breathing several days before the Eddie Guerrero RAW tribute show that prevented her from appearing in person. She returned to RAW on December 5 as a witness in the mock trial of Eric Bischoff, and claimed that Bischoff had "violated" her by kissing her three years earlier. She called the judge, Vince McMahon, "daddy".
2006: A visibly pregnant Stephanie McMahon returned on the March 6, 2006 episode of RAW, approaching Shawn Michaels backstage and claiming to have abdominal pains. When Michaels left to get her some water, Stephanie pulled out an unmarked substance out of her brassiere and poured it into his bottle of water, causing him to become groggy during his match against Shane McMahon later in the night, which he lost as a result. Stephanie also appeared at the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony on April 1, 2006 and in a backstage vignette with her immediate family at WrestleMania 22.
2007: Stephanie McMahon returned at WrestleMania 23 backstage, visiting her father before his Battle of the Billionaires match. She brought her "daughter" with her to wish him good luck.

In addition to her on-air character, Stephanie, like others in Vince McMahon's immediate family, is deeply involved in the business operations of WWE. She began her WWF career as an Account Executive for the WWE sales office in New York. In November 2000, she became one of the individuals chiefly responsible for the creative direction taken by the television programming and was named Vice President of Creative Writing in July 2003. She was promoted to Senior Vice President of Creative Writing in 2006. She oversees the hiring of scriptwriters, supervises the writing team, and is involved in the long-term booking of WWE. Her other responsibilities, not related to her position as leader of the writing team, include having a voice in the hiring and firing of employees and helping to produce and direct RAW, SmackDown!, ECW, and pay-per-view events. According to a WWE SEC filing in April 2007, Stephanie's approximate salary in 2006 was $3,500,000. Stephanie was promoted to Executive Vice President of Talent and Creative Writing in 2007. Also, Stephanie McMahon is now responsible for overseeing WWE.com.
Criticisms
The efforts of the creative team have often been criticized. Stephanie has been accused of favoring her husband Triple H, and storylines in recent years have contained elements of necrophilia and rape (notably the Katie Vick storyline, which included Triple H) among other unsavory subjects. She has also been said to have butted heads with Paul Heyman on several occasions. She did, however, turn down a potential incest angle, as revealed on the McMahon DVD. (According to her, Vince was to reveal himself as the father of her baby; when she said no, he pushed for Shane to be the father, but she turned that idea down as well.)
She has also been accused to have lead to the firing of Joanie Laurer (Chyna, who left the WWF in 2001). Laurer, who was romantically involved with Triple H for several years, claimed her departure was not due to pay, but because Stephanie McMahon wanted her out of the company. Moreover, Laurer claimed Stephanie had an affair with him while they were still together and stole him away from her.
Personal life
Education
Stephanie is a graduate of Greenwich High School and
Boston University, as is her brother Shane McMahon. She holds a degree in Communications.
Augmentation
By
her own admission (on an August 2001 episode of the Opie and Anthony Show), Stephanie
got breast implants in July 2001, shortly before she became the on-screen owner
of ECW. Stephanie also stated that her bra size was a D cup.
In an October 2001 interview for the WWF's official website, her mother Linda McMahon would also comment on her daughter's enhancement. Linda said, "My first concerns are always with health issues. Stephanie had thoroughly investigated the procedure, and she had answers to all the questions that I asked, and so I felt comfortable that if that was something that she wanted to do, then she should proceed, and she had my full support."
During her October 2002 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Stephanie stated that she got the augmentation because, in her opinion, her breasts looked like "two melted packets of butter." During the same interview, Stephanie stated that she was contemplating getting an even larger set of implants (by one cup size) because she had recently lost weight at the time, thereby making them smaller.
Family
She's an aunt
to Shane's sons: Declan James and Kenyon Jesse. Her sister-in-law is Marissa Mazzola-McMahon.
She's also an aunt to Triple H's sister's two children by marriage.
Motherhood
On
January 8, 2006, WWE announced that Stephanie and Triple H were expecting their
first child, due on July 27, 2006. The public announcement contradicted WWE storylines,
in which Stephanie's and Triple H's marriage ended in 2002. Stephanie continued
to work and travel with WWE throughout her pregnancy, giving birth to an 8 lb,
7 oz (3.8 kg) baby girl, Aurora Rose Levesque, on July 24, 2006. The birth was
announced live on RAW by Todd Grisham.
