1* CreatorCouple: Stephanie is currently an on-air talent, used to be the creative director for Wrestling/{{WWE}} and is now Chief Brand Officer. Hunter is more active in front of the camera as well as with the showrunning aspect of Wrestling/{{WWENXT}}).
2* TheDanza: Kinda, in storyline her legal name is Stephanie [=McMahon=] Helmsley, in RealLife it’s Stephanie [=McMahon=] Levesque, but she’s usually just referred to as Stephanie [=McMahon=] in and out of {{Kayfabe}}.
3* ExecutiveMeddling:
4** Apparently didn't want to do that match with Vince in 2003. So much so that when he made her go through with it, he was uninvited from her wedding.
5** When she was pregnant with her first daughter, Vince tried to make an incest storyline out of it with him as the father. Stephanie, understandably, protested it immediately. So he tried to amend it so ''[[Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon Shane]]'' would be the father instead. Both kids refused this time, putting their foots down, and the storyline was promptly axed to oblivion.
6* PlayingAgainstType: In 2002-2003 as the Smackdown General Manager, Stephanie instead was a {{Face}} and ReasonableAuthorityFigure in contrast to Eric Bischoff as GM of the Raw brand. She's best known as one of the biggest {{Heel}}s in the business.
7* PopCultureUrbanLegends: A famous WWE urban legend is that Stephanie was apparently in a relationship with Randy Savage when she was only sixteen (he would have been forty!) - and this was allegedly the reason Vince refused to allow a Randy Savage return in 2000 when he teased one. Wrestling/HardcoreHolly of all people believed it to be true. It has never been confirmed, and any evidence towards it is mostly circumstantial.
8* RealLifeWritesThePlot: By 2005, everyone and their brother knew she was married to Triple H. This lead to various angles - most [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments notably]] [[Wrestling/DGenerationX DX]] making rampant and gleeful speculation on [[Wrestling/TripleH who the father of her baby was]] - and references to their marriage and family.
9-->'''Triple H''': (dressed as Vince) When I pass, I'm gonna hand my company to my beautiful daughter, Stephanie...[[LeaningOnTheFourthWall and to whoever that guy is that knocked her up!]]
10* RomanceOnTheSet: How her relationship with Hunter started.
