	Athletes - Stephanie McMahon-Levesque

Stephanie Marie McMahon-Levesque (born September 24, 1976 in Hartford, Connecticut) is the daughter of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Chairman Vince McMahon and WWE CEO Linda McMahon. She is the wife of Paul Levesque and the sister of Shane McMahon. She is the Vice President of Creative Writing for WWE.

World Wrestling Federation

Stephanie McMahon-Levesque first appeared on WWF (now WWE) programming as part of a Roddy Piper vignette in her early teens. She moved into the spotlight in early 1999, when she became involved in the onscreen conflict between her parents, Linda and Vince McMahon. Originally a face, Linda and Stephanie sided with Vince's nemesis "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Vince responded by having The Undertaker kidnap Stephanie. The Undertaker attempted to marry Stephanie in the middle of the ring in a "Unholy Wedding" ceremony, but Stephanie was saved by Austin.

Stephanie began a relationship with wrestler Test which led to a heated feud between Test and her brother, Shane, who viewed Test as not being good enough for Stephanie. After Test defeated Shane at SummerSlam 1999 in a "love her or leave her" Greenwich Streetfight, Shane stopped objecting and went out of his way for his sister and for Test, proving to them he was on their side. The couple were eventually engaged, but their original wedding date had to be postponed after The British Bulldog accidentally hit Stephanie with a thrown trash can, giving her a concussion and amnesia. A later date was set, but during the in-ring ceremony, Triple H showed a video which revealed that he had drugged Stephanie and taken her to Las Vegas where they were married in a drive-through ceremony. This effectively ended the relationship between her and Test. Stephanie abhorred Triple H at first, but eventually sided with him, turning on Vince in the process by slapping him in the face.

McMahon-Helmsley Era

In 2000, with Vince McMahon absent as a result of injuries inflicted upon him by Triple H at the 1999 Armageddon event, Triple H and Stephanie became the onscreen owners of WWE, a period known as the "McMahon-Helmsley Era" and dominated by the McMahon-Helmsley Faction. Triple H held the WWF Championship and Stephanie held the WWF Women's Championship after several interferences and a DDT from Tori against opponet defending champion Jacqueline. Stephanie reconciled with her father and brother at WrestleMania 2000 when they helped Triple H defend his title against The Rock, leaving Linda McMahon as the only face in the McMahon family. Linda and Stephanie would exchange slaps throughout the summer of 2000. Throughout 2000, Stephanie would use heel wrestlers to try and eliminate her enemies: The Rock, Chris Jericho and Lita. Jericho in particular enraged Stephanie by calling her a "Filthy, dirty, disgusting, brutal, skanky, bottom-feeding trash bag ho", leading to a series of matches between him and Triple H.

In late 2000, a love triangle storyline began featuring Stephanie, Triple H and Kurt Angle. Stephanie lost the WWF's Women's Championship to Lita on August 21st, 2000. On a InterGender Match, Stephanie got knocked off the ring and hit her head on the metal steps and went unconscious later Kurt snuck into her dressing room Stephanie and Kurt shared an on-screen kiss on a episode of SmackDown This storyline was never satisfactorily resolved and Stephanie remained Triple H's onscreen wife. Stephanie and Triple H were separated in early 2001 when Triple H was badly injured.

The internal disputes between the McMahons led to Shane siding with his mother against Stephanie and Vince. Linda was in a comatose state due to the stress of being asked for a divorce by Vince, and Vince took the opportunity to have a public affair with Trish Stratus. Stephanie briefly feuded with Stratus, defeating her at No Way Out 2001, but eventually both settled their differences and sided with Vince. Over the next few weeks, Vince made it clear that he favored Stephanie over Stratus, even allowing Stephanie to cover Stratus with mud using a mop in the middle of the ring. At WrestleMania X-Seven, Shane defeated Vince in a Street Fight. During the course of the match, Stratus slapped Vince and chased Stephanie from ringside, apparently upset with Vince's constant misogynistic treatment of her.
