#1 Almost fired: Stephanie McMahon
It’s shocking to see Stephanie McMahon’s name on this list, isn’t it? After all, she is the daughter of Vince McMahon, the CEO of the company. As surprising as it sounds, it’s indeed true that Stephanie almost got fired from her father’s company. Not once but many times. In an interview given to Lillian Garcia, the Billion Dollar Princess said this:
"From Vince McMahon's perspective, especially, you have to earn it even more because you're his child. You have to be better than everybody else and he puts you to that test every single day. I've almost been fired numerous times. It hasn’t always been pretty. I had to learn a lot along the way and I made a lot of mistakes along the way. And I think that the only way you truly grow and get better is by making mistakes." (Credits)
Stephanie has played a pivotal role in WWE's rise both as an onscreen talent and as a member of the management. She was at the forefront of many storylines during the Attitude Era and also helped usher in the McMahon-Helmsley era through her alliance with Triple H.
Despite her limited in-ring abilities, she is a former WWE Women's champion. She has improved a lot in the past few years, and now, as many call her, she is the “most powerful” women in WWE, and is currently its chief brand officer running the show alongside her husband Triple H.
