Stephanie McMahon was interviewed on today’s Pat McAfee Show, where she discussed a wide range of topics. Here are the highlights:
On always being part of WWE: “So one of the things that I learned when I stepped away is that I’ll never get away from WWE ever. It is a part of who I am. It is what I love.”
On whether she stopped being proud of WWE when she stepped away: “I never stopped being proud, ever. I do think I wanted to disappear for a little while, and I kind of did. It was good for me. I needed it, and now I’m back.”
On whether she prefers to be a babyface or a heel: “Love being a heel. Yes, I hate being a babyface. It’s the worst. Prefer to be booed. Oh, yeah, even when I was growing up like I always loved the heels. You know, I didn’t like cheering for Hogan….He was the most over ever. I wasn’t on the bandwagon.”
McMahon has been with WWE on and off again for the last few years. She opted to take a leave of absence in 2022, only to return after Vince McMahon stepped down as CEO. In January 2023, Stephanie announced that she was no longer with the company in an executive role once Vince voted himself back to the Board of Directors. She has made occasional WWE appearances since then.
