Stephanie McMahon Admits Fear Of Losing Triple H Early

Stephanie McMahon has opened up about her long-held feeling that she’d lose her husband, Triple H, early in life and what changed that.

Stephanie McMahon’s husband, Triple H, flirted with death in 2021 after he was forced to undergo serious heart surgery and be fitted with a defibrillator. The issue ended Triple H’s in-ring wrestling career, and since then, he’s taken over as the creative chief of WWE.

During his ascent to the top of WWE, his wife, Stephanie McMahon, stepped away from the company in an official role, launching her own podcast where she opens up with some top WWE stars. It was during the latest episode that she revealed her privilege in life couldn’t stop her from having a common worry among wrestlers’ wives.

Speaking to John Cena on her What’s Your Story podcast, Stephanie McMahon opened up about a deep feeling she long had that she’d lose her husband early in life, and how that feeling changed after he recovered from his heart surgery:

I almost lost Paul, my husband. What’s weird, and I haven’t talked about it, I always had a feeling I was gonna lose him early. I just had that feeling, and after we got through everything, that feeling went away. It’s a pattern that’s supposed to happen, changed. It’s such a gift, truly.

Stephanie McMahon Puts Her Husband & Kids First

McMahon continued, noting how lucky she feels with her lot in life as she tries to give back, but she knows what is most important to her:

I started going through all this stuff in the company, and I realised there is nothing more important than my family. My husband and my kids. That’s what matters most, and I want to give as much time as I possibly can. I’ve given as much as I possibly can to the business my whole life, and I wanted to give back to them. That’s when I took that first leave of absence that didn’t last very long. I knew what mattered, and I know what matters now. I believe love is what life is all about, and if you can help somebody in any way, that is what it’s all about. Giving back.

I’ve had a lot of blessings in my life, and I consider myself very, very blessed, and I’m so grateful. Any amount I can give back, that’s what I wanna do if I can. I’m certainly not perfect. I’m sure I’ve hurt people’s feelings along the way, and I’ve said something to somebody, but that’s what I love about doing this.
