Report: Stephanie McMahon working on a new WWE project

The WWE “Town Hall” earlier today (Jan. 29) brought news that Paul “Triple H” Levesque will be inducted in the company’s Hall of Fame as a singles wrestler during WrestleMania 41 week in Las Vegas this April. But that wasn’t the only news to come out of Wednesday’s corporate meeting.

On their Elite paysite, PWInsider shared that it was announced Stephanie McMahon is working on a new project for WWE. McMahon was an on-screen performer for WWE for years, and later also the company’s Chief Brand Officer. She was briefly C.E.O. & Chairwoman after her father Vince’s first resignation in 2022, but resigned shortly after his January 2023 return. Since the accusations in Janel Grant’s lawsuit against him & the company forced Vince out again last January, Stephanie has resumed appearing at WWE events once again. But even as outsiders speculated about her return, WWE officials have insisted she’s happy just being around again.

We thought Stephanie was just at the meeting Wednesday to support her husband, Triple H. But it turns out she was also there because she’s working on a series for WWE.

It’s described as a pro wrestling version of Peyton Manning’s interview show for ESPN, Peyton’s Places, which features Manning talking to other NFL greats and major football figures about big moments from the game’s history. For her show, Stephanie is said to have already talked to Stone Cold Steve Austin, Cody Rhodes, and “several others”.

There’s no timetable for the show’s release, as right now it’s “in the pipeline being worked on for the future”. There was also no broadcast or streaming home mentioned in Insider’s report, although Netflix, home to WWE Network for much of the world, would seem a likely guess.

We’ll keep you posted if we hear anything else. For now, let us know your thoughts on Stephanie McMahon wading a little deeper into the WWE waters.
