WWE fans and wrestlers alike have long admired Stephanie McMahon for her contributions to the company over the years. Despite stepping down from her role as co-CEO earlier this year, rumors have been swirling about a potential WWE return for McMahon. At WrestleMania 39, McMahon was spotted backstage, fueling speculation about her future involvement with the company.
McMahon had taken a leave of absence from WWE to spend time with her family before returning to work amid an investigation into her father, Vince McMahon in 2022. However, many fans saw her eventual resignation as co-CEO as a surprise.
There had been rumors that McMahon’s departure was related to a potential sale of WWE to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, though there was no truth to these claims. With WWE currently in the midst of a hotly contested sale process, potential buyers have expressed interest in bringing McMahon back to the company.
While nothing has been confirmed yet, a recent report by PWInsider via Wrestling Headlines revealed that McMahon was backstage at WrestleMania 39 on Saturday, marking her first appearance since stepping down from her role. WWE CEO Nick Khan has expressed his desire to bring McMahon back but noted that she may still need to be ready. It remains to be seen if McMahon will return to WWE in the future.
