Stephanie McMahon On Her Time Away From WWE
McMahon recently discussed her time away from WWE during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.
“So, one of the things I learned when I stepped away was that I’ll never get away from WWE, ever. It is a part of who I am, it is what I love. I really did grow up in this business, so it was not unusual to have shoots done in my house. The first Saturday Night’s Main Event, I went trick-or-treating at Roddy Piper’s house, which was actually our house,” Stephanie explained. “He was putting bowling balls [in the bags] breaking our candy bags. He was a heel at the time and I was on that episode with Chip from Kate and Allie. It was just random.
“I did modeling for the [WWF merchandise] catalog and I didn’t get paid for that, we didn’t have child models at that time, it was just the employees’ kids that were just dressed up. I’ve lived this amazing life with so many opportunities to meet just incredible people and be part of something so special that connects people all over the world. I feel it everywhere I go in every arena I go to. It’s just something that is so special.”
“I never stopped being proud, ever,” Stephanie McMahon continued. “I do think I wanted to disappear for a little while, and I kinda did. And it was good for me, I needed it. And now I’m back.”
