The Game recently shared the story of how McMahon became the CEO and Chairwoman of WWE.
During an interview with Ariel Helwani on BT Sport, The Game mentioned that Stephanie McMahon wanted to take some time off from work as she wanted to spend time with her family.
He added that the Co-CEO of WWE got a call while they were driving for a family vacation asking her to step up as the CEO and Chairwoman of the company.
"We're gonna go up to our lake house and relax. And she's like ready to go up there. This is like the beginning of the like the full-on take a break. And we're literally in the car driving up there and we get the phone call, that says, 'we need you to step in, would you step in as chairwoman and CEO in the now,' and she's like, 'can I call you back in a little bit and think about this for a minute? And we spend the rest of the drive, driving up there and like there was a time limit on that." [54:43 - 55:27]
Since taking over as the head of WWE, McMahon has been out of the limelight and focusing on her work. Meanwhile, Triple H has been at the forefront of the promotion's creative and has brought back several previously-departed superstars such as Johnny Gargano and Karrion Kross.
