5 Parents who managed their children in WWE

#2 Stephanie McMahon (managed by Linda McMahon)

This association, like a few others on the list, didn't last for long, as Stephanie was almost done as an on-screen character by the time she aligned with Linda on WWE SmackDown. By the time 2003 was coming to an end, Stephanie McMahon's relations with her father Vince had been ruined beyond repair.

Stephanie wasn't thrilled with Vince showing interest in Sable and this storyline was the highlight of the show for months on end, with Vince doing everything he could to hurt his daughter. Vince even went as far as putting her in a match against Brock Lesnar on WWE SmackDown.

Around the same time, Linda McMahon began supporting her daughter against her father and Sable. The angle culminated at WWE No Mercy, where Linda accompanied Stephanie to the ring while Sable was on Vince's side. The ending to the match saw Vince attacking his daughter with a lead pipe, which prompted Linda to throw a towel in the ring, thus resulting in Vince bagging the victory.

As per the stipulation of the match, Stephanie was fired from her position as the SmackDown GM. In reality, she was written off TV because she was about to marry Triple H in a few days. Stephanie would not be seen on WWE TV for the next two years.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
