Former WWE co-CEO Stephanie McMahon made a surprise appearance to kick off WrestleMania 40 night two, but as of now, she has not returned as an official employee or executive.
That news comes from PWInsider on Tuesday morning.
The outlet reported that McMahon “has not officially returned to the company as an employee or executive in any way, shape or form” and that her appearance on Sunday was to give fans “one more thing they did not expect and to personally lend her support to the company’s new era.”
She also appeared alongside husband Paul “Triple H” Levesque at Friday’s Hall of Fame ceremony. After Sunday’s event, Levesque wasn’t asked and didn’t specify on whether his wife was officially back in the company, only saying it was great to have her “back home” in WWE.
This weekend marked her first public appearances since she departed the company in January 2023 when Vince McMahon returned to power as executive chairman. Since then, WWE was merged with UFC to form the new TKO and her father resigned from his position as TKO executive chairman in the fallout from the accusations contained in the Janel Grant lawsuit. She has yet to make a public statement about the lawsuit and the allegations against her father.
Current WWE CEO Nick Khan said in a March 2023 interview that he would love for Stephanie to be part of the company again.
She made headlines last November when she was seen backstage at Survivor Series.
