Steph has now replaced his father Vince McMahon after the latter’s retirement. She serves as the co-CEO of WWE alongside Nick Khan. During the latest WWE earnings call, McMahon revealed that she took a break to spend more time with her family, echoing sentiments that she expressed in a tweet from May of this year.
“I have worked my entire life for this business. I love this business. I took a leave of absence realizing that I needed a little bit of time with my family, given the grueling schedule and nature [of WWE]. I got about three weeks, which is more than a lot of other folks get, and I was not forced into returning as the CEO and Chairman in the interim position — I offered.”
McMahon went on to address her future plans for the company, stating that WWE will continue providing entertainment and escapism for fans all around the world:
“We truly bring people together for generations, from all over the world, with all different backgrounds.”
