Longtime former WWE executive Stephanie McMahon is stepping back into the spotlight with a new show titled Stephanie’s Places, produced in collaboration with Omaha Productions, ESPN, and WWE. McMahon discussed the project on The Pat McAfee Show, noting that it will be akin to Peyton’s Places and other similar offerings from Omaha Productions, set to premiere on ESPN+ in March. “I’m going all over the country and hopefully, the world to really find out the stories behind the biggest stars in WWE,” McMahon explained.

Following a sizzle reel featuring McMahon conversing with Stone Cold Steve Austin, Charlotte Flair, and Roman Reigns, McAfee inquired about the show’s objectives. McMahon responded, “It’s really to tell the stories that haven’t been told and to find out more about the people behind the characters. What I want to do is bring some type of advice to the audience. These people are all hugely successful but like most people, they’ve been knocked around a lot. So how did they overcome the challenges that were put in front of them? How did they get over certain things to become who they are today? And it’s really their journey. That’s what I’m trying to tell is their story, their journey of how they’ve gotten to where they are.”
McMahon expressed her enthusiasm for the project, sharing, “I’ve loved it. I have to say, I was really nervous to do it. It was like my first step back, if you will, into the business. And I was really, really worried about it. Ultimately, it’s just been so rewarding to hang out with our talent that I know so well on a certain level, and then to get to know them so much better and differently. Each person’s story is unique. Sometimes, I’m the younger person who remembers them as a big star, while in other cases, I’m the older person trying to pull insights from a younger superstar. No one show is the same, and it’s just a lot of fun.”
