Stephanie McMahon will be questioned in WWE lawsuit related to Vince McMahon

Stephanie McMahon is set to be questioned in a WWE lawsuit related to Vince McMahon. This particular lawsuit is related to the sale of the company by the former CEO to Endeavor.

The suit was first filed in November 2023 and alleges that Vince McMahon negotiated WWE's sale to Endeavor in bad faith in order to keep himself in power, something other potential buyers would not have allowed.

In a report by Wrestlenomics, it is revealed that after reviewing a new filing in Delaware's Court of Chancery, TKO CEO Ari Emanuel and former WWE CEO Stephanie McMahon will be deposed under oath regarding the lawsuit.

Is Triple H getting overconfident? Here are the signs!

Stephanie, who served as a co-CEO and was a board member, will be deposed on October 24. She resigned from the company in January 2023, shortly after her father returned to power following allegations of misconduct a few months earlier.

Meanwhile, TKO CEO Ari Emanuel’s testimony date is set for December 2. Notably, a few other names will also be deposed in the coming weeks. Vince McMahon is scheduled for questioning on November 12, and Paul 'Triple H' Levesque on November 4.

Stephanie McMahon set to be inducted in WWE Hall of Fame

Last month at Wrestlepalooza, The Undertaker made a surprise appearance on the show and sat down with Stephanie in the crowd.

The Phenom then revealed that the Billion Dollar Princess will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2026. This news took the former WWE Women's Champion by surprise.

Later, a number of WWE stars, such as Natalya and The Bella Twins, congratulated Stephanie on the accomplishment.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
