Triple H Comments on Stephanie McMahon Making Potential Return Appearances in WWE
A recent episode of Sports Illustrated’s SI Media with Jimmy Traina podcast featured WWE CCO Paul “Triple H” Levesque as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Levesque’s thoughts about former WWE co-CEO and his wife Stephanie McMahon making a potential return to WWE in the future.
“I would love Steph back. Here’s the thing with her. She stepped away and our kids are at an age where we have one in college, and over the next four years, the rest will be in college. We have three girls. It’s a very formidable time and a time for her where she’s really enjoying having some down time. She’s busy, she still has a lot of passions and pediatric cancer is a big thing for her. She’s doing some stuff. She’s still up to speed on a lot of the stuff we’re doing and clearly has her takes and opinions on things. It’s wonderful when she can be around. She will always have a passion for this. Whether she decides to come in and do some stuff, I think she weighs that on her mind all the time. It’s the, ‘I want to do that, but I have give up all this time with my kids that I’ll never get back.’ She’s enjoying her time with them very much, so giving that up would be a tough push right now. You’ll see her around. Maybe at Netflix.”
