Why Eric Bischoff Thinks Stephanie McMahon Allegedly Turning On Vince McMahon Wasn’t Surprising

Stephanie McMahon has inherited her father, Vince McMahon’s, killer instinct. This is exactly why she will do whatever it takes to ensure the business doesn’t suffer the consequences of personal choices.

In 2022, The Billion Dollar Princess was voted as interim Chairwoman and CEO and Triple H assumed the role ‘Head of Creative’ while Vince McMahon stepped down owing to an investigation. However, he returned in January 2023, which led to his daughter resigning.

However, it is suggested that both Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were against The Big Man’s return as CEO, and had voted against it. Unfortunately for the power couple, McMahon did return and their relationship was strained.

Eric Bischoff reveals Stephanie McMahon did exactly what Vince McMahon would have done

On 83 Weeks podcast, Eric Bischoff discussed the conflict between father and daughter, and claimed that The Billion Dollar Princess’ action was to save WWE, especially if she knew the issues that could tank the company.

In fact, Vince McMahon would have done the same!

There was nothing he wouldn’t do to protect the business. By that, I mean the WWE. And Shane just didn’t have the guts. It was something to the effect of, ‘Here, here’s a knife. You wanna take over? Let’s see if you’ve got the guts.’ That’s my reference point there. Well, Stephanie had the knife. If you believe, and I’m not saying I believe this. This is the story out there. If it’s true that either Stephanie and/or Triple H knew that there were issues that could tank the company but did what they thought best to protect the company, even if that included exposing something, in a way, Stephanie did exactly what Vince purported he would do.

Despite returning in 2023, Vince McMahon stepped down from the Board of Directors of TKO after a lawsuit was filed against him by former WWE employee Janel Grant. As of today, The Big Man has no power or say over the wrestling juggernaut while Triple H is the Chief Content Officer and Stephanie McMahon makes special appearances during premium live events!
