Stephanie McMahon - Levesque Stephanie McMahon Levesque ( née Stephanie Marie McMahon ) , ( September 24 , 1976 ) , better known by her maiden name Stephanie McMahon , is the daughter of World Wrestling Entertainment ( shortened to WWE , Inc . ) Chairman & C . E . O . Vince McMahon and the publicly traded company ' s former C . E . O . Linda McMahon , and is presently the Executive Vice Priesident , Creative . , of the company . She is married to Paul " Triple H " Levesque and the sister of Shane McMahon . With Levesque , she has three daughters , Aurora Rose Levesque ( born July 24 , 2006 ) , Murphy Claire Levesque ( born July 28 , 2008 ) , and Vaughn Evelyn Levesque ( born August 24 , 2010 ) . World Wrestling Federation / Entertainment . Abduction by the Undertaker ; relationship with Test ( 1999 ) . Stephanie first appeared in an on - camera role by modeling WWF merchandise . In early 1999 , she became involved in an on - screen storyline involving her father , Vince McMahon , and The Undertaker . The Undertaker stalked and abducted Stephanie McMahon and almost " married " her in the middle of the ring in an " Unholy Wedding " ceremony performed by Paul Bearer , until Steve Austin , her father ' s then nemesis , rescued her . The Undertaker did this to torment Vince , or so it seemed — but later it was revealed that he and Vince had been in cahoots the entire time . Stephanie and her mother Linda sided with Vince ' s nemesis Austin , and Vince responded by having the Undertaker kidnap Stephanie a second time . Stephanie McMahon then began an on - screen relationship with wrestler Test , which led to a heated rivalry between him and her older brother Shane , who viewed Test as not being good enough for her . After Test defeated Shane at SummerSlam in a " love her or leave her " Greenwich Streetfight , Shane stopped objecting and began to side with Test and Stephanie to prove he was supportive . Stephanie and Test went on to team together in a match on September 20 , 1999 , with the couple defeating Jeff Jarrett and Debra . The couple were eventually engaged , but their original wedding date had to be postponed after The British Bulldog accidentally hit Stephanie with a thrown trash can , giving her a concussion and amnesia . A later date was set , but during the in - ring ceremony , Triple H showed a video which revealed that he had drugged Stephanie and taken her to Las Vegas , Nevada where they were married in a drive - through ceremony . This effectively ended the relationship between her and Test . Stephanie seemed to abhor Triple H at first , but eventually revealed that she had sided with him and that the wedding was real — a revenge plot against her father for the aforementioned kidnappings , turning Stephanie into a villainess . McMahon - Helmsley era ( 2000 - 2001 ) . In 2000 , with Vince McMahon absent as a result of injuries inflicted upon him by Triple H at Armageddon event , Triple H and Stephanie McMahon became the on - screen owners of the WWF , a period known as the " McMahon - Helmsley Era " and dominated by the McMahon - Helmsley Faction . Stephanie underwent a complete character transformation with her " girl next door " image turning much more cold hearted and sinister complete with revealing outfits and wild , curly hair from her previously straightened hair . Triple H held the WWF Championship and McMahon held the WWF Women ' s Championship after several interferences and a DDT from Tori against her opponent , defending champion Jacqueline . McMahon reconciled with her father and brother at WrestleMania 2000 when they helped Triple H defend his title against The Rock , leaving Linda McMahon as the only fan - favorite in the McMahon family . Linda and McMahon exchanged slaps throughout the summer of 2000 . Throughout 2000 , McMahon used villainous wrestlers to try and eliminate her enemies , including The Rock , Chris Jericho , and Lita . Jericho in particular enraged McMahon by him , Edge and Christian calling her a " Filthy , dirty , disgusting , brutal , bottom - feeding trash bag tramp - a - saurus rex " , leading to a series of matches between him and Triple H . McMahon lost the Women ' s Championship to Lita in the first women ' s Raw main event match on August 21 , 2000 . In late 2000 , a love triangle storyline began featuring McMahon , Triple H and Kurt Angle . One of the most memorable points of the storyline took place during the SummerSlam 2000 pay - per - view as Triple H inadvertently knocked Angle out before EMTs carried him unconscious from the arena . The storyline was resolved officially at Unforgiven when Triple H defeated Angle with a Pedigree following a low blow from McMahon , proving her loyalty to him . However , after taking several shots from both men accidentally during a segment on " Raw , " Triple H demanded McMahon stay away from ringside during his matches . Upset by this , McMahon became Angle ' s manager and was in his corner when he defeated The Rock for the WWF Championship at No Mercy . The alliance was short lived , as Triple H demanded she withdraw her services following The Rock using his signature Rock Bottom maneuver on Stephanie at No Mercy due to her constant interference . The internal disputes between the McMahons led to Shane siding with his mother against Stephanie and Vince . Linda was in a comatose state due to the stress of being asked for a divorce by Vince , and Vince took the opportunity to have a public affair with Trish Stratus . McMahon briefly feuded with Stratus , defeating her at No Way Out , but eventually both settled their differences and sided with Vince . Over the next few weeks , Vince made it clear that he favored McMahon over Stratus , even allowing McMahon to cover Stratus with mud using a mop in the middle of the ring . At WrestleMania X - Seven , Shane defeated Vince in a street fight . During the course of the match , Stratus slapped Vince and chased McMahon from ringside , apparently upset with Vince ' s constant misogynistic treatment of her . Following Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H ' s alliance with Vince McMahon , McMahon returned as Triple H ' s manager at ringside . Following Triple H ' s injury in May 2001 , she disappeared from WWF television . Invasion ( July 2001 - November 2001 ) . McMahon later returned on the July 9 , 2001 edition of Raw by revealing that she had purchased Extreme Championship Wrestling and intended to bankrupt the WWF ( in reality , the ownership of ECW assets at this time was highly disputed ) , along with her brother Shane , who had become the on - screen owner of World Championship Wrestling ( WCW ) . The two groups then merged to form a " supergroup " known as The Alliance . McMahon was suddenly unemployed after her wrestlers were defeated by the WWF at the Survivor Series in a five - on - five , Winner Takes All elimination match . The night after The Alliance was defeated , Shane and Stephanie came to the ring to confront Vince . While Shane earned Vince ' s trust by admitting that he had lost and then leaving quietly , Stephanie tried to say that Shane put her up to it , and it was all his fault . In the end , she was dragged from the building by security personnel because she refused to leave the ring by her own accord . It was revealed later that night that she had sold her " WWF stock " to Ric Flair . Later , Chris Jericho humiliated McMahon by pieing her in her face . Jericho continued to torment McMahon by making light of her chest ' s apparent sudden growth ( it had been speculated in recent weeks by fans that McMahon had undergone a breast augmentation ) the very next week on Raw . On the TitanTron , Jericho put up a video still of a less - endowed McMahon from the prior year alongside a recent shot of much more buxom McMahon to compare and contrast . Jericho would continue the torment by saying , " It seems like our little billionaire princess sure has grown over the last year . . . well , in two specific places at least — talk about foreign objects — you wanna say let the bodies hit the floor ? I would say let the boobies hit the floor ! " By her own admission , McMahon confirmed the breast augmentation rumors on the Opie and Anthony Show the very next day . Behind - the - scenes , amid much discussion and speculation regarding her chest , McMahon gave her approval for it to be acknowledged on WWE programming . On the September 13 , 2001 edition of SmackDown ! , McMahon caused a bit of controversy , albeit unintentionally , by comparing her father ' s 1994 steroid trial to the September 11 , 2001 attacks . McMahon said , " A few years ago , some people tried to destroy my family . They attacked my father ' s reputation , they attacked my mother ' s reputation , and they attacked the World Wrestling Federation . They tried to rip us apart . . . but all they did was make my family stronger . And that ' s exactly how America feels right now . Because on Tuesday , America was attacked . Because America is a united nation . And together , we stand strong . I am incredibly proud to be an American citizen , and I will stand up for my rights and my freedom . " Divorce ( 2002 ) . McMahon returned in 2002 when Triple H made a comeback as a fan - favorite , but the couple began having problems , as McMahon was still a villainess . As part of the storyline , the couple " divorced " after McMahon claimed to be pregnant in order to trick Triple H into renewing their marital vows . The split was acrimonious to say the least ; Triple H literally complied with the " fifty - fifty " divorce settlement by giving McMahon the front half of her Corvette and McMahon claimed that Triple H had abused his bulldog Lucy , in order to gain custody to spite him . Lucy was later , in storyline , run - over by a limousine , much to the distress of Triple H , who chased McMahon around the ring and humiliated her by pulling her into the ring by the seam of her pants , in the process revealing part of her buttocks . In order to gain revenge upon Triple H , McMahon began foiling his attempts to become the WWF Undisputed Champion . After Triple H won the Royal Rumble , McMahon appointed herself special guest referee in a match between Kurt Angle and Triple H at No Way Out with Triple H ' s WrestleMania title shot on the line , which included her correcting Howard Finkel in his announcing her as Stephanie McMahon - Helmsley to simply Stephanie McMahon . Though Angle won thanks to McMahon ' s somewhat suspect officiating , Triple H defeated him the next night to regain his title shot . McMahon then aligned herself with current champion and former enemy , Chris Jericho . Despite McMahon ' s best efforts , Jericho lost to Triple H at WrestleMania X8 on March 17 . McMahon also received a pedigree from her " ex " during the contest . On the March 25 episode of Raw , Jericho and McMahon lost to Triple H in a Triple Threat match for the Undisputed Championship , with the stipulation that , if McMahon was pinned , she would be forced to leave the WWF . General Manager of SmackDown ( July 2002 - October 2003 ) . On July 18 , 2002 , McMahon returned to the WWF ( renamed WWE following a lawsuit from the World Wildlife Fund ) as the babyface General Manager of SmackDown ! . She feuded with Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff throughout 2002 , though the enemies inexplicably shared a kiss at a Halloween party in which McMahon was dressed as a witch and Bischoff was disguised as her father underneath a mask . McMahon was given credit for the return of the WWE United States Championship and for the creation of the WWE Tag Team Championship . She was also credited with signing Hulk Hogan back to SmackDown ! , which caused friction between herself and her father . McMahon was ousted from her position after a long feud with her father , Vince McMahon . Though he originally had been the one to appoint his daughter as the General Manager , he began to resent her growing independence as well as her attempts to stop him from pursuing an affair with Sable . McMahon wanted him to fire her , but Vince wanted her to " respectfully resign . " When McMahon refused , Vince put her in a series of matches with such superstars as A - Train and Brock Lesnar which led up to the first ever " Father Daughter I Quit match " at No Mercy . McMahon was accompanied by her mother , the CEO of WWE Linda McMahon , and Sable accompanied Vince McMahon in their match . Throughout the match , Linda and Stephanie exchanged slaps with Sable when she tried to interfere . Stephanie lost when Linda , at ringside threw in a towel on her behalf because Vince would not release a choke he had on her with a lead pipe . After the match , Vince put his hand over Linda ' s face and shoved her to the canvas when she tried to check on her daughter . Paul Heyman succeeded McMahon as the new SmackDown ! General Manager . Sporadic Appearances ( 2005 - 2007 ) . Stephanie returned to WWE television as a villainess on October 3 , 2005 at WWE Homecoming , when she confronted Stone Cold Steve Austin after he had stunned her father and brother . She slapped Austin , but was then herself stunned . She appeared on Raw for two weeks thereafter ; she was involved in the firing of Austin ' s friend , Raw announcer Jim Ross and the booking of a match between Ross ' s replacement , Coach , and Austin at Taboo Tuesday , with Ross ' s WWE future on the line . The match , however , was canceled after Austin suffered a minor injury that , combined with his unwillingness to job to Coach , led to him no - showing the subsequent episode of Raw . A visibly pregnant Stephanie returned on the March 6 , 2006 episode of Raw , approaching Shawn Michaels backstage and claiming to have abdominal pains . When Michaels left to get her some water , Stephanie pulled out an unmarked substance out of her brassiere and poured it into his bottle of water . This substance caused him to become groggy during his match against Shane later in the night , which he lost as a result . Stephanie also appeared at the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony on April 1 , 2006 and in a backstage vignette with her immediate family at WrestleMania 22 . McMahon returned at WrestleMania 23 backstage , visiting her father before his Battle of the Billionaires match . She brought her " daughter " with her to wish him good luck . On June 18 edition of Raw , McMahon addressed the fans about her father ’ s " death " . She also announced that the following episode of Raw would constitute a three - hour tribute to Vince McMahon ( the tribute was canceled in lieu of a tribute to Chris Benoit , due to the then - unknown murder - suicide ) . When her father returned to Raw on August 6 , he accused his daughter of faking sympathy for his death , as well as checking his last will and testament . The following week , out of retaliation for her father ' s words , Stephanie publicly revealed that the illegitimate child of her father was among the WWE roster . On the taped edition of Raw that aired September 3 , 2007 , Stephanie , along with her mother Linda and her brother Shane , made appearances to confront Mr . McMahon about his bastard child . Vince called her a " hell cat " and said that even though her and Vince have had their differences , they have had some tender times together . He then played a video of what he claimed highlighted his loving relationship with Stephanie . The clip was actually footage of Vince and Stephanie ' s " I Quit Match " from " No Mercy " back in 2003 . Stephanie told Vince that no matter what footage he played , she loved him but he was sick and needed help . She then said that if he did not get help then Vince should step down as Chairman of WWE . The family then said that they were behind Vince not against him but he needed to change and seek mental help . On Raw ' s 15 Year Anniversary episode , she appeared along with Shane in a segment which involved her father Vince and Hornswoggle , which ended with her kissing her real life husband Triple H , to humiliate her father . General Manager of RAW ( 2008 - March 2009 ) . After the scripted severe injuries sustained by Vince on the June 23 3 - hour edition of Raw , Shane appeared requesting for the Raw Superstars to stand together during what was a ' turbulent time ' . Shane ' s plea was ignored , and subsequently , for the next two weeks , Stephanie and Shane urged the superstars to show solidarity .

After Adamle stepped down as General Manager , Stephanie and Shane became the interim on - screen authority figures for the Raw brand .
