Former WWE star Stacy Keibler recently took to her Instagram account and posted a throwback picture with Shane McMahon.
She wrote:
“I can’t believe its been 22 years today since my first @wwe appearance alongside @theshanemcmahon 🎉✨ Time truly flies!”
It is needless to mention that Shane McMahon was once the most notorious on-screen character in WWE. In 2001, he was playing a babyface when a young Stacy Keilber made her debut in the company.
Keibler joined the company in 2001 after WWE took over WCW. She worked with the company for nearly six years before parting ways to focus on her modeling and acting career.
On the June 14, 2001, episode of SmackDown, Shane McMahon came out before introducing Keilber to the WWE Universe. She walked down the stage with Vince’s son to a great response from fans.
Shane used her to distract Rhyno during his match, which the latter ultimately lost. It marked the beginning of the diva’s career, seeing her work several high-profile storylines and compete in iconic matches.
Even though Stacy Keibler never won a title in WWE, she did leave a mark with her on-screen performances and heel work. She is regarded as someone who helped change the image of women in the company. Keibler was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2023 by Mick Foley and Torrie Wilson. She enjoyed several on-screen segments, with the latter throughout her career.
