Stephanie McMahon recently revealed that she had never felt more nervous in her life heading into her WrestleMania match this year.
If your surname is McMahon then chances are you are going to be involved in the wrestling business. More specifically with WWE. Vince McMahon took over the company from his father during the 1980s, Stephanie, Shane and Triple H will take the reigns from him in some form or fashion in the future, and the chairman currently has six grandchildren who will likely be a part of the business one day.
The aforementioned Stephanie and Shane McMahon have effectively grown up in the business, fulfilling almost every role along the way. They both worked behind the scenes in smaller roles around the office when they were younger, Shane has been a referee in the past, and since then they have of course both become very recognizable on-screen characters.

Both of them have been involved in countless matches over the past two decades, but shockingly Stephanie had never competed at WrestleMania until this year. Her match alongside her husband Triple H against Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey was her first ever at The Showcase Of The Immortals. Thanks to her and the other three Superstars in the match, it was one of the best bouts of the night.
The Billion Dollar Princess recently spoke with ESPN about the build to the match, admitting that she had "never been more nervous" in her life. "Having the opportunity to be a part of Ronda Rousey’s debut, and being a part of Kurt's first match in years was an amazing opportunity," McMahon went on to say. A great performance by everyone involved, but McMahon has not competed since.
It seems crazy to think that Stephanie McMahon has been around for as long as she has and never been in a match at WrestleMania. She has been involved in a few, mainly as a ringside presence for Triple H's matches, but before this year had never been an active competitor in a 'Mania match. That duck is broken now, and perhaps we will see her return to the ring for WrestleMania 35.
