The series is premiering in March.

Guest appearing on The Pat McAfee Show was former WWE co-chief Executive Officer Stephanie McMahon. She joined the show to announce her new series titled ‘Stephanie’s Places’ that is going to air on ESPN+ beginning in March.

Among those featured in the promotional preview for the show was Stone Cold Steve Austin, Charlotte Flair and there was a shot of McMahon on a yacht with Roman Reigns, Solo Sikoa, Sami Zayn, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Jacob Fatu.

As the conversation went on, McAfee asked McMahon how she navigates the negativity that surrounds her family and her father Vince McMahon. Vince was accused of sex trafficking and sexual assault by former WWE employee Janel Grant.

Stephanie responded with the following: 

So, it’s been my whole life and when I was in high school was when my dad was indicted by the federal government and the media came after my family in a really big and really hard way — to deal with when you’re in high school — and I think at that time, I was filled with a lot of anger and resentment and I had a hard time navigating all of that and I think, now, in my later years when all of it seems to happen again, it’s with a little bit of reverence that I can appreciate all of it because it’s just noise. People have opinions no matter what and that’s great and you can think you know exactly what’s going on, you can give whatever dirt you think you know but at the end of the day, I know where I stand and that’s how I have to just be grounded and rooted in who I am and what I believe in and try to ignore the noise. 

Stephanie was present at WWE headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut when Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker broke the news to Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque that he’ll be headlining the 2025 WWE Hall of Fame class.
