Stephanie McMahon has made her first onscreen appearance in WWE since leaving the company in 2023.
On January 10th, 2023, Stephanie McMahon announced that she was stepping down as Chairwoman of WWE. McMahon has served in that role and as co-CEO alongside Nick Khan since the previous July, when Vince McMahon entered his short-lived first retirement.
Days prior to the announcement, Vince McMahon forced his way back onto WWE’s Board of Directors and on January 11th was unanimously elected the Chairman of the company. It has since been reported that Stephanie McMahon left instead of being demoted from her position due to the return of her father.
In the year since then, the company has been sold to Endeavor and merged with UFC to form the TKO Group. Meanwhile, Vince McMahon was given the position of Executive Chairman of the new company’s board, but resigned in disgrace following horrific allegations from a former employee of sexual assault and trafficking.
During this tumultuous period, Stephanie has remained away from WWE.

Now, though, this has changed, as the former Chairwoman was seen attending the 2024 Hall of Fame ceremony alongside her husband, WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H, real name Paul Levesque. McMahon was seen sporting a hat with the ECW logo emblazoned on it in honour of Paul Heyman, who was inducted into this year’s HoF class.
During his induction speech, Heyman joked that Stephanie “married the wrong Paul.” The Billion Dollar Princess took the comment well, blowing a kiss at her former onscreen ally.
