Stephanie McMahon, WWE's chief brand officer, was named the company's interim CEO last week.

Her father, Vince McMahon, stepped away from the role amid an investigation into alleged misconduct.

Before being named interim CEO, she had stepped back from her brand chief duties to focus on family.

Stephanie McMahon, 45, is the daughter of Vince McMahon and Linda McMahon, who have both served as the CEO of WWE at various points. Linda exited WWE to serve as the head of the Small Business Administration under former President Trump.

Stephanie McMcahon has been married to Paul Levesque since 2003. Levesque is a retired WWE wrestler who went by the name Triple H, and is currently the company's executive in charge of global talent strategy.

Like other members of her family, McMahon has appeared in the ring during WWE events through various iterations, including as a power couple with Triple H called "The Authority" from 2013 to 2016.

Her in-ring career took off in the late 1990s, when WWE was still WWF (World Wrestling Federation), in a storyline with now-retired wrestler The Undertaker.

Her final match was in 2018 at WrestleMania 34 with Triple H against Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle. It was Rousey's much-anticipated WWE debut.

Since then, she's focused on her role as an executive. She had been chief brand officer since 2013. Prior to that, she broke into WWE (then WWF) as a model and then branched into smaller business roles before becoming a senior VP and then an EVP

In May 2022, McMahon announced that she was stepping away from her brand chief duties to focus on her family. Insider reported that her father, Vince, was looking to shake up leadership to boost sponsorships, and she could be replaced.
