Stephanie McMahon, chief brand officer of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc (WWE), was named the company’s interim CEO last week after her father, Vince McMahon, stepped away from the role amid an investigation into alleged misconduct. Before being named interim CEO, she had been taking more of a back seat to focus on family – here’s what else you need to know about her.
Her father is Vince McMahon and her husband is Triple H
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 vice-president in charge of global talent strategy.

Like other members of her family, McMahon has appeared in the ring at WWE events, 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.
