The attitude era saw Vince McMahon finally appearing on WWE television as the owner of the company. But prior to the attitude era, Mr. McMahon portrayed himself as the color commentator of WWE. 

When McMahon started appearing on TV, they established him as a heel and thereby creating the evil boss character. Vince McMahon’s children Shane and Stephanie McMahon also started appearing on WWE TV sometime later. They too were introduced as heels, especially The Billion Dollar Princess, Stephanie McMahon.

He added, “A lot of other people could not have carried that off. But still it was what it was. The reason that she was involved was because of the Evil McMahon empire and the interplay between them. If She was anybody else in the world, she wouldn’t have the spot and it wouldn’t have worked.”

Cornette said, “She never worked anywhere in any promotion but the WWE. She was never really a wrestler although she wrestled a couple of gimmick matches, she was never really a manager although she was in the corner a few times of people.”

Even though Stephanie McMahon is not a professional wrestler, she has been a part of a few matches. Her match with Brie Bella and mixed tag team match against Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle are some major highlights in her career. She has also won the Women’s Champion once in her in-ring career.
