Vince McMahon is one of the most polarizing names in WWE and wrestling history. While many former and current superstars continue to praise his contributions to the sport, some names didn't have the best things to say about the former chairman.
Vince McMahon bought WWE from his father in the 1980s and changed the professional wrestling industry since then. He made the sport mainstream, reached a wider audience, and created big stars like Hulk Hogan, The Rock, John Cena, and more. However, controversies and scandals followed his career, from the questionable storylines to the allegations against him in real life. Due to his tenure in the business and working with different people, it's unsurprising to know that some of them didn't have the best memories of the 79-year-old.
In this list, we will look at four former female WWE Superstars who hated Vince McMahon.

#4. WWE Hall of Famer Chyna
Chyna contributed a lot to women's wrestling and is considered a trailblazer for the division, but her time in the Stamford-based promotion didn't always turn out the best. Although she was one of the first female stars to pose a threat in the women's and men's divisions, and even won the Intercontinental Championship, her life behind the scenes was much different.
It was known that Chyna and Triple H were dating when the latter's romantic storyline with Stephanie McMahon began, which led to them dating in real life. The Ninth Wonder of the World has since been adamant that The Game cheated on her, while The King of Kings said they weren't in a "full-blown relationship" at the time. Due to this, it's unsurprising that she also hated Vince McMahon, as he was the one who set up his daughter and Triple H together.
Before Chyna passed away in 2016, she would insult and criticize Vince McMahon on social media. Her former manager, Anthony Anzaldo, even claimed that they were both considered "persona non grata" at the WWE Headquarters and were escorted out by security when they wanted to talk to Vince regarding her royalties.
#3. Former superstar Ronda Rousey
Ronda Rousey wrestled in WWE from 2017 until 2019 and returned in 2022 before retiring the following year. Since her exit, she has talked about her experience in the Stamford-based promotion. While she had positive things to say about Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, the same treatment wasn't given to Vince.
The former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion said in her biography, 'Our Fight', that it was hard to differentiate Vince's evil on-screen persona from the real-life McMahon, who was "accused of sexual misconduct." Rousey also slammed McMahon for how he ran and viewed the women's division.
#2. TNA legend Gail Kim
Another female star who didn't receive the best treatment under Vince McMahon's regime was Gail Kim, who fortunately succeeded in TNA when she stunningly left the Stamford-based promotion.
In 2011, Gail Kim eliminated herself during a Women's Battle Royal on RAW to make a statement regarding the women's division of WWE. Gail later shared that Vince McMahon allegedly removed her from storylines, which is why she left, as she found no more point in joining the company if she wasn't being used.
Meanwhile, Kim has praised The Game for helping the women in the Stamford-based promotion and supporting the division. Despite leaving on a bitter note more than a decade ago, Kim was recently seen in attendance during the 2024 NXT Battleground.
#1. AEW star Mercedes Moné recently referenced Vince McMahon
One of the most talked about events in 2022 was the walkout of Naomi and Sasha Banks from WWE due to creative differences. While the former has already returned to the company, the latter made a major rebrand by now calling herself Mercedes Moné while signed under All Elite Wrestling.
Last month, Mercedes shared that the reason for her departure was due to her personal life, and she didn't like how the Chairman of WWE at the time talked to her. The former RAW Women's Champion even said how he would talk a little crazy to her.
Despite the negative relationship she had with Vince, the former Sasha Banks used it as a way to find herself and break away from her comfort zone.
