After over a year away from WWE, Stephanie McMahon is reportedly making a highly anticipated return in a brand-new on-screen role, according to Newsweek. The former WWE Chairwoman and Chief Brand Officer, who stepped away in early 2023, is set to shake things up once again as WWE enters a new era under TKO Group Holdings.
What We Know About Stephanie McMahon’s Return
While specific details about her role remain under wraps, sources indicate that Stephanie’s comeback will involve a high-profile storyline rather than an executive position. Given her history as a dominant authority figure, fans are already speculating about potential power struggles, alignments, or even a fresh rivalry with Triple H, who currently leads WWE’s creative direction.
Stephanie last appeared on WWE television in mid-2022 before taking a leave of absence, which eventually led to her resignation as WWE’s Co-CEO following her father Vince McMahon’s return to power. With Vince now out of the company, her return could mark a major shift in WWE’s on-screen leadership dynamics.
Possible Roles for Stephanie in 2025
Stephanie’s past roles in WWE have ranged from authority figure to performer, making her return an exciting wildcard. Here are a few potential scenarios:
- WWE’s New Commissioner: With Adam Pearce currently managing both Raw and SmackDown, could Stephanie step in as a higher-ranking authority to oversee the brand split?
- Heel Power Struggle: Stephanie has a history of playing the ultimate villain. Could we see her return to rival Triple H, Nick Aldis, or even an unexpected faction?
- Aligning with The Bloodline or a New Stable: With Roman Reigns’ future uncertain, Stephanie could back a new dominant force in WWE.
What This Means for WWE’s Future
Stephanie McMahon has long been one of WWE’s most influential figures, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera. Her return signals a major shift in storytelling, potentially adding a layer of real-life corporate drama to WWE’s ongoing narratives.
With the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania 41 fast approaching, her return could be part of a long-term storyline leading into WWE’s biggest event of the year.
