Stephanie McMahon Speaks On Shane McMahon Returning To WWE And Her Role In WWE

Stephanie McMahon appeared on ESPN SportsCenter on Tuesday to promote WrestleMania 32. Here are the highlights.

 


 

On her role in WWE:

Oh, goodness. Okay, so I am chief brand officer for WWE, so I am an executive. I am also a television personality on our programming and I play a villain. Our husband and I are known as The Authority, and we are the principal owners of the show, abusing our powers left and right in the storyline. And, of course, my husband is the WWE World Heavyweight Champion right now, and he will be wrestling Roman Reigns in front of what will hopefully be a record breaking crowd for WWE at WrestleMania in AT&T Stadium.

On the Divas division:

“Our audience started a hashtag called #givedivasachance and it trended worldwide for three days on Twitter, because our fans want to see our female athletes positioned the same as the man. They want to see them in incredible storylines, they want to see the character development, they want to see the incredible action that they are so capable of… So we started the Divas Revolution. It was a movement that was in sports anyway… Women’s sports in general is on the rise and it was time for WWE to get onboard.”

On Shane McMahon returning to WWE:

It’s been awesome. Shane is an incredible performer, but just having him back around in general as my big brother. My brother raised me in a lot of ways, for better or worse, when my parents were trying to build the business. So to have him back is just so much fun.
