and Linda McMahon
, the younger sister of Shane McMahon
, and wife of WWE wrestler and executive Paul "Triple H" Levesque
.
McMahon began appearing regularly on WWE in 1999 as a part of a storyline with The Undertaker. After a brief on-screen relationship with Test, she was linked to Triple H
—whom she married both on-screen and later in real life—which culminated in the McMahon-Helmsley Faction
storyline. She has held the WWF Women's Championship
once. In 2001, she was the on-screen owner of Extreme Championship Wrestling
during The Invasion. The following year, she was the SmackDown General Manager, but stopped appearing regularly on television after an "I Quit" match with her father Vince. After making sporadic appearances for several years, she began appearing regularly on Raw
in 2008 as the Raw brand General Manager.
to Linda
and Vince McMahon
, Stephanie Marie McMahon appeared at the age of 13 in World Wrestling Federation (WWF) merchandise catalogs, modeling T-shirts and hats. Later, Stephanie attended Boston University
, where she earned a degree
in Communications
. After graduating in 1998, she began working for the WWF full time.
, Stephanie McMahon debuted as the sweet and innocent daughter of Vince McMahon
during an on-screen storyline involving Vince and Kane
. The Undertaker stalked and abducted McMahon, culminating in almost marrying her in the middle of the ring before being rescued by Stone Cold Steve Austin
.
McMahon then began an on-screen relationship with wrestler Test, which led to a rivalry
between him and her older brother Shane
. After Test defeated Shane at SummerSlam
in a "Love Her Or Leave Her Match", Stephanie and Test went on to team together in a match on September 20, 1999, with the couple defeating Jeff Jarrett
and Debra
. The couple were eventually engaged, but during the in-ring ceremony, Triple H
showed a video which revealed that he had drugged McMahon and taken her to Las Vegas, Nevada
where they were married in a drive-through
ceremony. McMahon seemed to abhor Triple H at first, but eventually revealed that she had sided with him and that the wedding was real—a revenge plot against her father for the aforementioned kidnappings, thus turning her character into a villain
.
event in 1999, Triple H and McMahon became the on-screen owners of the WWF, a period known as the "McMahon-Helmsley Era" and dominated by the McMahon-Helmsley Faction. Triple H held the WWF Championship
and McMahon held the WWF Women's Championship
after defeating champion Jacqueline
with the help of Tori
and D-Generation X
on the March 28 edition of SmackDown! McMahon reconciled with her father and brother at WrestleMania 2000
when they helped Triple H defend his title against The Rock, leaving Linda McMahon
as the only fan-favorite
in the McMahon family. Stephanie lost the WWF's Women's Championship to Lita
on Raw on August 21, 2000.
In late 2000, a love triangle
storyline began featuring McMahon, Triple H and Kurt Angle
. The storyline continued at Unforgiven
when Triple H defeated Angle with a Pedigree following a low blow from McMahon, proving her loyalty to him. McMahon later became Angle's manager and was in his corner when he defeated The Rock for the WWF Championship at No Mercy
. The alliance was short lived, however, as after The Rock performed his Rock Bottom maneuver on Stephanie at No Mercy, Triple H attacked Angle, considering it his fault that Stephanie was hurt due to her managing Angle at the time.
The internal disputes between the McMahons led to Linda McMahon being in a coma
tose and wheel-chair bound state due to the stress of being asked for a divorce
by Vince, who took the opportunity to have a public affair with Trish Stratus
. Stephanie briefly feuded with Stratus, defeating her at No Way Out
. Over the next few weeks, Vince made it clear that he favored McMahon over Stratus, allowing McMahon to bully and verbally abuse Stratus. At WrestleMania X-Seven
, Shane McMahon defeated Vince in a street fight
. During the match, Stratus slapped Vince and chased Stephanie from ringside, apparently upset with Vince's constant misogynistic
treatment of her.
and intended to bankrupt the WWF (in reality, the ownership of ECW assets at this time was highly disputed), along with her brother Shane, who had become the on-screen owner of World Championship Wrestling
(WCW), and the two rosters merged to form a "supergroup" known as The Alliance.
Her team "the Alliance" consisting of her brother Shane, former WCW Champion Booker T., Rob Van Dam, Kurt Angle and Steve Austin was defeated by "Team WWF" consisting of The Undertaker, Kane, Big Show, Chris Jericho & The Rock at the Survivor Series
in a five-on-five, Winner Takes All elimination match. The night after The Alliance was defeated, Shane and Stephanie were banished from WWF television. McMahon returned in January 2002 when Triple H made a comeback as a fan-favorite, but the couple began having problems, as McMahon began acting like a nagging and clingy wife. As part of the storyline, the couple "divorced" after McMahon claimed to be pregnant
in order to trick Triple H into renewing their marital vows. Triple H later discovered that she was lying through a phone call from Linda McMahon and left her at the altar during the renewal ceremony. As a result, after Triple H won the Royal Rumble
, McMahon appointed herself special guest referee in a match between Kurt Angle
and Triple H at No Way Out
with Triple H's WrestleMania
WWF Undisputed Champion
shot on the line. Though Angle won thanks to McMahon's biased officiating, Triple H defeated him the next night to regain his title shot. McMahon then aligned herself with former enemy, Chris Jericho
. Despite interference by McMahon, Jericho lost to Triple H at WrestleMania X8
on March 17. On the March 25 episode of Raw, Jericho and McMahon lost to Triple H in a Triple Threat match for the Undisputed Championship, with the stipulation that, if McMahon was pinned, she would be forced to leave the WWF; In the match, Triple H pinned McMahon.
) as the General Manager of SmackDown!. In contrast to her McMahon-Hemsley era villain character, Stephanie became a fan favorite
, as she began to favor fan favorite wrestlers at that time. She feuded with Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff
throughout 2002, though the enemies inexplicably shared a kiss at a Halloween
party in which McMahon was dressed as a witch
and Bischoff was disguised as her father underneath a mask. McMahon was given credit for the return of the WWE United States Championship
and for the creation of the WWE Tag Team Championship
. She was also credited with signing Hulk Hogan
back to SmackDown!, which caused friction between herself and her father.
Meanwhile, Vince McMahon began to resent Stephanie's attempts to stop him from pursuing an affair with Sable. The feud culminated in the first ever "Father–Daughter 'I Quit' match" at No Mercy
. McMahon was accompanied by her mother, the CEO of WWE Linda McMahon, and Sable accompanied Vince McMahon in their match. Stephanie lost when Linda, at ringside threw in a towel on her behalf because Vince would not release a choke he had on her with a lead pipe. As a result of losing the match, Stephanie disappeared from WWE television for two years.
. A visibly pregnant McMahon also returned on the March 6, 2006 episode of Raw, approaching Shawn Michaels
backstage and claiming to have abdominal pain
s. When Michaels left to get her some water, McMahon pulled out an unmarked substance out of her brassiere and poured it into his bottle of water. This substance caused him to become groggy during his match against Shane later in the night, which he lost as a result. McMahon also appeared at the WWE Hall of Fame
induction ceremony on April 1, 2006 and in a backstage vignette with her immediate family at WrestleMania 22
.
McMahon returned during a backstage segment in April 2007 at WrestleMania 23
, visiting her father before his "Battle of the Billionaires" match. After her father returned to Raw after faking his own death, Stephanie publicly revealed that her father had an illegitimate child, who was among the WWE roster. On the taped edition of Raw that aired September 3, 2007, Stephanie, along with her mother Linda and her brother Shane, made several appearances to confront Mr. McMahon about the child, who was later revealed to be Hornswoggle, turning into a fan favourite. On Raw's 15 Year Anniversary episode, she appeared along with Shane in a segment—also involving her father Vince and Hornswoggle—which ended with her kissing her real life husband Triple H
, to humiliate her father.
as their choice to be the new Raw General Manager.
After Adamle stepped down as General Manager, Stephanie soon became in charge of the brand and (reignited her feud) and had altercations with Chris Jericho
in the following weeks, which involved her firing him (although he was later reinstated). After her father Vince returned, the family began a feud with Randy Orton
, who began the storyline by punting Vince in the head. After a few weeks of feuding, Orton and his alliance, The Legacy
, punted Shane in the head and performed an RKO on Stephanie. Following the attack, he was chased out of the ring by Triple H
, who is her real-life husband. The rivalry between Orton and The Legacy against Triple H and the McMahons continued at WrestleMania XXV
, where Triple H defended the WWE Championship
against Orton. The following month, Orton won the championship at Backlash
. After Backlash Stephanie left Raw and took a hiatus from WWE television.
Stephanie made an appearance as a guest speaker at the WrestleMania XXVII
Press Conference. She appeared back stage at Summerslam
to wish CM Punk
luck in his match. She also appeared on an episode of Raw speaking backstage with CM Punk.

commented on her daughter's enhancement, saying, "My first concerns are always with health issues. Stephanie had thoroughly investigated the procedure, and she had answers to all the questions that I asked, and so I felt comfortable that if that was something that she wanted to do, then she should proceed, and she had my full support." During her October 2002 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, McMahon stated that she was contemplating getting an even larger set of implants because she had recently lost weight at the time, thereby making them smaller.
She has also been accused of having initiated the firing of Joanie "Chyna" Laurer, who left the WWE in 2001. Laurer, who was romantically involved with Paul "Triple H" Levesque
for several years, claimed her departure was not due to pay, but because McMahon wanted her out of the company. Laurer claimed that during her relationship with Triple H, McMahon had an affair with him and stole him away from her. McMahon and Levesque began dating in 2000 during their scripted romance, and they were engaged on Valentine's Day
in 2003. In a radio interview with Opie and Anthony in 2004, Triple H claimed that he began dating Stephanie after being apart from Chyna for some time.
She and Levesque have three daughters together. On January 8, 2006, WWE announced that McMahon and Levesque were expecting their first child, due on July 27, 2006. McMahon continued to work and travel with WWE throughout her pregnancy

. On August 14, 2005, McMahon (with her name misspelled as "Stephani"), along with Stacy Keibler
