Stephanie McMahon reveals the one reason why she stepped down as WWE Chairwoman and Co-CEO

Stephanie McMahon officially resigned from WWE nearly two years ago. She recently disclosed why she made that massive decision.

The Billion Dollar Princess started working in her father's former company when she was just a child. She later became an on-screen character and held several executive positions in the Stamford-based promotion. In 2022, Stephanie assumed the position of Chairwoman and co-CEO after Vince McMahon's initial retirement. However, she stepped down in January 2023 following her dad's return as Executive Chairman.

In the intro of her newly-launched TV Show, Stephanie's Places, The Billion Dollar Princess mentioned her departure, disclosing that she stepped away to focus on the people that she loved, her family.

"I also served Chair[woman] and co-CEO of WWE before stepping away in 2023 to focus on the people that I love, my family," she said.
