Stephanie McMahon recently opened up about her time away from WWE.
In a recent sit-down with John Cena as part of her What’s Your Story? podcast, McMahon opened up about her love of jiu-jitsu, and how she regained confidence with the sport after leaving WWE. Cena asked why McMahon felt “lost,” to which Stephanie spoke about going through “hard things.”
In 2018, she stepped away after being WWE RAW commissioner, but revealed that the company was “so wrapped up” in her identity that she struggled leaving it.
“I think everybody in life, no matter who you are, you go through hard things,” said McMahon. “And there are different hard things for everybody. I think the longer you live, the more you go through, the more you overcome. And I think the lessons you learn in the overcoming are what build your character. They are what make you who you are.”
McMahon went on to say that she had “some very hard life lessons” regarding her family and her place in it. “I had some very hard life lessons, mainly as it relates to my family, and what WWE is and what it means to me, and how much a part of it I am.”
