10 Most Powerful People in the Pro Wrestling Business

#3 Stephanie McMahon

Who is she?

The daughter of WWE CEO Vince McMahon and the wife of company Chief operations Officer Triple H.

She serves the WWE as its Chief Brand Officer (CBO) which means her duties mainly revolve around how WWE is presented to the media and maintaining certain standards across the company's various segments, such as Raw and Smackdown Live. She also performs as an on screen authority figure and occasional wrestler.

Stephanie McMahon has been around the wrestling business her entire life. In the late 1990s during the Attitude Era she began appearing on screen as part of story lines. While initially a sympathetic character, she would evolve into a heel persona based on her father's villainy.

For many years her real life marriage to Triple H was not acknowledged, but in 2009 it was finally admitted on camera.

Since then she has presented a united front to the world with her husband, with the two teaming together in matches such as the one they had at Wrestlemania 34.

Influence she's had on the pro wrestling industry: As WWE's CBO, Stephanie oversees the artistic direction of the world's largest sports entertainment company.
