• Women Are Getting More Significant Roles In WWE With Stephanie McMahon As Co-CEO
After Vince McMahon retired from all positions on July 22nd, Nick Khan and Stephanie McMahon were made the co-CEOs of WWE.
While WWE’s female wrestlers have been getting more opportunities on TV ever since 2015-2016, backstage female workers are now getting more opportunities as well.
Stephanie tweeted the following after the recent Crown Jewel premium live event:
“Photographer Heather McLaughlin as @WWE’s first female photographer to shoot ringside in Saudi Arabia, 2 female refs @refajawwe & @WWELadyRefJess, & 2 incredible women’s matches. Another page in the history books for the women of #WWE! #WWECrownJewel #proud”

Former Women’s Champion Natalya recently said the following about Stephanie’s vision:
“Stephanie [McMahon] has always wanted women to have more representation. She doesn’t want a show where it’s like, okay we have 75% male matches and we’ve got 25% women’s matches.
She wants a show where it’s half men and half women, she wants equality for women in WWE.
She has been very vocal about it and it’s really, really cool.”
