Stephanie McMahon says she does not miss being an on-screen character.
The former WWE Executive appeared on The Pat McAfee Show to promote her new project. She talked about things such as WWE\’s process of creating stars, the media coming after her family and more.
When asked about her own WWE appearances and if she preferred being a heel or a face, McMahon confirmed that being a villain has always been her calling:
\”Love being a heel. I hate being a babyface. It\’s the worst, the worst. Prefer to be booed, yeah. Even when I was growing up, I always loved the heels. I didn\’t like cheering for [Hulk] Hogan, it just wasn\’t…He was the most over ever but I just…I wasn\’t on the bandwagon.\
Ever Since Then I Haven\’t Had That Craving: Stephanie McMahon
Stephanie McMahon had been a featured performer for WWE during the Attitude and Ruthless Aggression eras. She continued making regular appearances for the company till 2023 when she resigned from all her roles in the promotion.
When asked if she misses being a performer and getting reactions from the crowd, the wrestling veteran claimed that she hasn\’t felt that way since her match against Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle at WrestleMania 34:
\”I think there was a period of time that I have felt that way. I think there\’s various periods of time where I felt that way. But honestly, after I wrestled Ronda and Kurt at WrestleMania, it for some reason, didn\’t become my driving force.
Like it was so amazing that match. What we were able to, the story we were able to tell, what we were able to accomplish. [With] me being the only non-athlete, it was a tall order for me. Ever since then, I haven\’t had that craving. Honestly, it\’s more \’How are they going to react?\’ It\’s not like, \’Oh, I\’m craving them to do this or that.\’
It\’s more like, \’Oh, are they going to react at all when I come out?\’ Because I\’ve really only been out WrestleMania, you know, opening the second night of WrestleMania, and then I\’ve been in the crowd, so it\’s not like I\’ve really been out in front of [everybody].\
