Stephanie McMahon has wrestling in her blood – her dad Vincent Kennedy McMahon Jr is the WWE CEO – check out the action on SuperSport WWE (*236) – and she’s been married to WWE Superstar Triple H (real name Paul Levesque, who is also the WWE Executive Vice President, Global Talent Strategy and Development). But she is a wrestling powerhouse on her own. The 44-year-old started as a merchandiser for the family business and has done just about everything until being made WWE Chief Brand Officer in 2013. She’s won gold as the Women’s Champion, and more than that, Stephanie has championed equality in a sport once dominated by men.
A WOMAN’S WORD
What is your message to female fans watching the WWE?
I say this to all women – I really believe in equality. I believe in standing up for what you believe in. It’s important to have a voice. It’s important [for everyone] to use that voice, to be proud of who you are. You don’t have to be a WWE Diva to have confidence in who you are, to know that you belong, no matter what anybody tells you, and to never back down.
