10 Real-life WWE stories we learned this week: Fired 5-time Champion is not returning, RAW Superstar is friends with The Rock

#6 Vince McMahon did not expect Stephanie McMahon to join WWE

Stephanie McMahon began appearing as an on-screen character in WWE in the late 1990s, but her association with the company actually started several years earlier.

WWE’s Chief Brand Officer said during an appearance on SPORTNET's Top Of Her Game that she interned with WWE from the age of 14 and always knew that she wanted to continue her family’s legacy and become part of the business.

This surprised Vince McMahon, who assumed Shane McMahon would want to work for WWE but he did not envisage his daughter joining the company.

#5 Nia Jax helped Bianca Belair in WWE NXT

Way before she made her name on NXT television, Bianca Belair was widely regarded as one of WWE’s stars of the future due to her record-breaking feats at the Performance Center.

She told FOX recently that NXT trainer Sara Amato is responsible for teaching her everything she knows about being an in-ring performer, but Nia Jax is the one who took her under her wing and helped guide her in NXT.

Interestingly, WWE has never booked Jax and Belair in the same match, but that will surely change in the near future if both Superstars remain on RAW.
