She points out that there was never any pressure from her mother or father to follow their footsteps in the wrestling business. She recalls her father sitting her down one day as she neared the end of high school and asked her what she wanted to do in life. She looked at him as if he had three heads and told him that she always wanted to work for WWE, and that’s what she was determined to do.

McMahon felt that the women’s revolution in WWE was long overdue. She credits Triple H with recruiting legitimate athletes, training the women the same as the men and giving them the same match lengths so they can get the same reps as the men. She also points out that the fans were a huge force in making this happen, noting that her father absolutely responded to the online demand to give women a chance a couple of years ago.

She admits that it caught her father off guard when the “Give Divas a Chance” hashtag started, but she adds that he’s the best at listening to fans and adapting to situations like that. He got behind this right away. She points out that some fans might criticize WWE for not listening to fans, but they’re always listening. Sometimes it might take some time for things to play out in storylines on television, but she guarantees that WWE is constantly listening to fans.
