Stephanie McMahon teases that WWE Royal Rumble will have lots of surprises, and she doesn’t even know about some of them.
Speaking on The Pat McAfee Show, Stephanie McMahon was asked about WWE Royal Rumble.
“The Royal Rumble kicks off the road to WrestleMania,” she said. “So as you know, the winner of the Men’s Royal Rumble match and the winner of the Women’s Royal Rumble match, they go on to choose the championship that they’d like to compete for at WrestleMania, which of course is the Grandaddy of them all, the show of shows. That all starts with the Royal Rumble.
“So I think John Cena competing in his last Royal Rumble ever is gonna be really meaningful. I’m looking forward to Charlotte Flair’s return to the ring, it’s been way too long. Lots of surprises that I don’t even know about, and if I did, I wouldn’t be allowed to say. I don’t know, truthfully, I know some things, but not all things.”
WrestleZone will have coverage of WWE Royal Rumble as it airs on February 1st.
Stephanie McMahon On WWE Absence
During the interview, McMahon also discussed her absence from WWE and noted that she needed to disappear for a while.
“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.”
