Stephanie McMahon has been a significant and influential figure in WWE for many years, contributing to the company’s success in various roles. She would eventually leave WWE but make a couple of returns during WrestleMania 40 and afterwards as well. With that said, she was also in attendance for SmackDown this week at Madison Square Garden.
If you did not know, Stephanie McMahon had been on a leave of absence to spend time with her family when she returned to work amid the investigation into her father, Vince McMahon, back in 2022. Vince McMahon’s return to WWE as Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors last year led to Stephanie McMahon’s resignation.
In an interesting turn of events, Vince McMahon stepped down from his role as the Executive Chairman of TKO Group Holdings. This development ultimately led to Stephanie McMahon’s return at WrestleMania 40 and eventually at the WWE Draft this year.
The June 28 edition of Friday Night SmackDown emanated from the World’s Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden and had a ton of action and memorable moments for fans in attendance, including Paul Heyman being assaulted by The Bloodline.
Surprisingly enough, as revealed by photos obtained by Ringside News, Stephanie McMahon was in attendance for Friday Night Smackdown at Madison Square Garden in the front row. She was clearly having a great time watching the show from start to finish.
We have also reported WWE has no plans for her return as of yet. Nonetheless, fans were happy to see Stephanie McMahon in attendance, so it remains to be seen when she makes another appearance at a WWE show again.
