Stephanie McMahon has worked with the WWE for several years. She has participated as an on-screen competitor, served as a General Manager and even taken on several important backstage roles, which is why her recent resignation has come as a surprise to many. It was believed that her decision was related to her decision to leave WWE last year. However, it appears that the situation is not as simple as it appears and may actually have something to do with her relationship with her father, Vince McMahon.

Stephanie McMahon took over from Vince McMahon as the Co-CEO alongside Nick Khan, following the WWE patriarch’s resignation last year. His decision to move away from the company came after the ‘Hush money scandal.’

However, he returned less than a year later to become the chairman of the board, despite the board unanimously deciding against his return just a month earlier.

Stephanie McMahon was “disheartened and frustrated” with working alongside Vince McMahon

Vince McMahon successfully engineered his return to the board and forced a few of the previous members to resign in order to get his people in. This reportedly hurt Stephanie McMahon because of the manner in which her team was dismantled.

As mentioned earlier, her decision to resign appeared to be connected to the situation last year, when she wanted to assess her life and give more of her time to her family after Triple H suffered a serious heart condition. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, reported that there is more than meets the eye, stating –

“She left the board and cut all ties with the company she has worked for since she was a teenager. It was also conceded that she and Vince did have issues in working together as family members, and how Khan was a buffer who kept things smooth between them as well as between Vince and Levesque.”

Fightful Select added more to the above reports regarding Stephanie McMahon’s frustration with Vince McMahon. They wrote:

“It was noted to us by several sources at WWE HQ that when Stephanie’s team was dismantled, a usually composed Stephanie was disheartened and frustrated about how it happened.”

Stephanie McMahon recently underwent a surgery following her WWE resignation

The Former WWE Chairwoman recently took to Twitter to reveal that she had undergone a surgery on her ankle by Dr. Waldrop of Andrews Sports Medicine.

“Busy week! Thank you Dr. Waldrop, @AndrewsSportMed and the Orthopaedic Center Staff for fixing my ankle! And to Kevin Wilk @ChampionSportsM for already getting me started on rehab! (And of course to my amazing caregiver @TripleH) #RoadtoRecovery,” she tweeted.
