Adam Pearce to be replaced as the RAW General Manager; alliance with top star? - 4 Ways Stephanie McMahon can return to WWE in a huge way
Stephanie McMahon replaced her father, Vince McMahon, as the CEO of WWE when he stepped down from his position in the summer of 2022. She did not run the promotion for long, as she resigned from her duties in January 2023. Since then, she has made a few television appearances. Her latest was at WWE SummerSlam 2024, where she was seen in the crowd.
As her husband, Triple H runs the company, there is still a possibility that she will return at some point. With the rumors of Shane McMahon joining AEW, WWE could also respond to their rival company in this way.
Below are four ways WWE could bring back Stephanie McMahon.
#4. Stephanie McMahon could replace Adam Pearce
WWE RAW in 2024 has featured some very chaotic things. Over the past few months, things have gotten out of Adam Pearce's control.
The red brand's General Manager could not deal with stars like CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Bron Breakker, and The Wyatt Sicks. He even failed to protect himself at times and got attacked on his own brand.
Stephanie McMahon is a more powerful figure than Pearce, so it is possible that she will replace him as the RAW General Manager in the future.
#3. An authority figure who looks over RAW, SmackDown and NXT
Stephanie McMahon was part of The Authority alongside Triple H and WWE Hall of Famer Kane a decade ago. She was responsible for many things happening on RAW and SmackDown at that time.
The former WWE CEO could return in a similar role and look over all three of WWE's brands this time. Adam Pearce, Nick Aldis and Ava could report to her for how they run things on their respective brands.
#2. To introduce new mid-card titles for the Women's division
Stephanie McMahon played a huge role in the beginning of the Women's revolution in WWE. She brought top stars like Becky Lynch, Sasha Banks, and Charlotte Flair to the main roster in 2015.
The 47-year-old even participated in some big matches herself to give a boost to the Women's division. Her feud with Ronda Rousey was one of the biggest feuds in 2018.
She could return to television to introduce the Intercontinental and United States Championships for the Women's division. NXT already took this step, so it will likely happen on the main roster too.
#1. Manager of Giulia
WWE has had some great managers in its history. Stephanie McMahon is a huge name who could help any talent reach their true potential by managing them.
She has managed legends like Triple H and Chris Jericho in the past. The former CEO of WWE could do it again if her husband wishes to bring her back as an on-screen character.
Giulia, a top signing WWE made this year, will likely rise to the top in the Stamford-based promotion. McMahon could be her mouthpiece on the main roster, as English is not the NXT star's first language.
