'''[[Stephanie McMahon|Stephanie Marie McMahon]]-Levesque''' is certified pro-wrestling royalty. The daughter of promoter [[Vince McMahon]] and granddaughter of WWF/WWE founder Vince McMahon Sr., Stephanie has worked in the wrestling business since she was a teenager answering phones at Titan Tower. She has worked both in front of and behind the cameras, as a wrestler, a [[Heel]] manager for her storyline-husband (and eventual [[Real Life]] husband) [[Triple H]], a General Manager for the ''[[Smack Down]]'' brand, and her current role as Executive Vice President of Creative Development and Operations (i.e. [[So You Want To/Be a Booker|head writer]]).
[[That Other Wiki]] has an article on her life and career [[wikipedia:Stephanie McMahon|here]].

{{creatortropes}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]: In-character only, but pretty thoroughly in-character. Vince has actually ''wrestled'' Stephanie (in a match that took place only a few days before her wedding).
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: This was Stephanie's reaction when [[Natalya Neidheart| a diva]] left drunken voice-mail messages on ''Total Divas''. She even saved them in case her [[Vince McMahon|dad]] wanted to hear them.
Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With [[Chris Jericho]], so much so that [[Fan-Preferred Couple|the fanfic writers]] went bonkers. Every fangirl who ever wrote wrestling fic has a [[Idiosyncratic Ship Naming|Smoochy Dreamer]] fic in her past.
** The Wrestlemania 18 feud between Jericho and [[Triple H]] was [[What Could Have Been|originally planned to involve]] Jericho and Stephanie having an affair to spite Hunter. Unfortunately, that idea got nixed.
* [[Berserk Button]]: If you're going to talk trash about her children or attack [[Triple H| her husband]], expect Stephanie to reply with either verbal or physical beat-down. Both [[Paul Heyman]] and Brie Bella found this out... though to be fair the latter the was justified because she was prevented from saving Nikki, so she attack Stephanie's husband.
** If you really want to get her mad, just [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik2w3Fa2caY turn your back] on her. Roman did.
** Oh... it's a good idea not to imply [[Triple H| her husband]] is a coward and threaten to show up with the chance one of her children could be face to face with a likely attacker. Just go ask Seth Rollins.
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: When [[Triple H]] kidnapped, drugged and married Stephanie in Vegas. She also [[Rape Is Love|fell in love]] with him after that. Of course, it's entirely possible he was lying to mess with Vince's head.
{{quote|'''[[Triple H]]:''' The question, [[Vince McMahon|Vince]], isn't ''if'', but ''how many times'' we "consummated the marriage!" ''(thrusting his hips)''}}
Line 34 ⟶ 36:
{{quote|'''Stephanie:''' This is MY show!}}
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Most definitely when she's in-character. Some of the rumor mills have painted her as this in real life, due to her yes-man status for her father and the high turnover in the writer's room.
* [[Creator Couple]]: Stephanie handles most of the writing for [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]], Hunter is more active in front of the camera as well as with the showrunning aspect.
* [[Daddy's Little Villain]]: Almost as good a heel as her father. It's just hard to top the guy frequently called "[[Satan]]" by commentators.
* [[Distracted by the Sexy]]: [[Chris Jericho|She's the breast- I mean best.]]
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: During the [[Ministry of Darkness]] storyline in which she was kidnapped by [[The Undertaker]], and later, in the "Love Her or Leave Her" storyline between her brother Shane and Test.
* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female on Male)]]: Stephanie is often slapping wrestlers, mostly males. For many, most guys don’t often fight back or make an attempt to block in fears of revenge. On the other hand, [[Sting (wrestling)| Sting]] is among the few who at least makes an attempt to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CE8As67zBtg block despite] [[Triple H]]'s [[Berserk Button]]s includes harm towards Stephanie.
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas| Even Bad Women Love Their Papas]]: Just go ask Damien Sandow when he thought it was be funny it mock [[Vince McMahon]]. For some, like [[Jerry Lawler]], thought it was [[Actually Pretty Funny]], Stephanie ''didn’t''.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: In the ''McMahon'' DVD, Stephanie confirmed that Vince wanted to write her pregnancy into an angle, with [[Parental Incest|Vince himself]] as the father. She immediately rejected it. [[Crosses the Line Twice|Then he pushed]] [[Brother-Sister Incest|for the father to be]] [[Shane McMahon|Shane]]. Both his kids subsequently protested.
** She also can sense someone trying to get out of a match, especially from another heel. When AJ Lee had a match up with Vickie Guerrero, Guerrero tried to get out if it by faking injury. Unfortunately, Stephanie wasn't buying it, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0P7LzyK9yw guess what happens].
** While she’s just as a [[Jerkass]] like her [[Triple H| husband]], especially towards Daniel Bryan, but she looked on in horror as she saw [[Kane]] attacked Bryan in front of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NXzxmzqjEg Brie Bella]. She even went as far as warning Brie to run as Bryan did what any gentleman would do, protect his lady from a brute that what.
** Don't even try to "steal" a champion title, or seize the chance to steal from the current one if they're down unless you win it in a match. AJ tried to use the chance to take the Diva's Champion from Paige after the latter was knocked out by Brie along with Nikkie. Stephanie quickly catches AJ in the act.
** Don’t even think about going after civilian who pretty much had nothing to with any conflict. When [[Brock Lesnar]] went on the [[Unstoppable Rage| attack]] after {{spoiler| Seth Rollins explains he got excused due to jet lag, thus denying Lesnar a rematch for the WWE World Heavyweight Title.}} Lesnar attacked anyone [[John Bradshaw Layfield| who]] [[Michael Cole| in his]] [[Booker T| way]]. Stephanie was terrified by this, and she had enough when a cameraman was attacked. Since the cameraman was considered a civilian, not a wrestler, Stephanie had enough.
** [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: In general, if she, [[Triple H| her husband]], and/or [[Vince McMahon| her dad]] happens to be the voice of reason, then you know the line has been crossed.
* [[Executive Meddling]]
* [[Fan Nickname]]: [[Wrestlecrap|Nipple H]].
Line 59 ⟶ 65:
* [[Large Ham]]: Pretty much invented the screechy-heel character that Vickie Guerrero now plays to the hilt.
* [[Nepotism]]: She ''is'' the boss's daughter.
* [[The Maiden Name Debate]]: Kayfabe forced her to dance all around this. She went by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley while she and [[Triple H]] were Kayfabe married and goes by Stephanie McMahon-Levesque in real life, but since Hunter doesn't [[Do Not Call Me "Paul"|go by his real name]], she just goes by Stephanie McMahon any time she appears in-character.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor| Mean Character, Nice Actress]]: During the storylines in recent times, she has been proven to be just a [[Jerkass]] like [[Triple H| her husband]]. However, she evidently viewed as a [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] as any viewer of “Total Divas” has seen, but it’s only if you done something questionable. If you didn’t any wrong, she’s rather has an easy-going
** She's also involved with many chatiries.
* [[Morality Pet]]: Zach Gowen
* [[Never Hurt an Innocent]]: Well... she considers civilians as innocent bystanders, such as a cameraman. Sure she'll go after a [[Face]], but at least, they have to be a wrestler as fans are OFF LIMITS. [[Brock Lesnar]] didn't get the memo.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Wore an ECW motorcycle cap during the InVasion storyline.
* [[Rape as Drama]]: Implied when [[The Undertaker]] kidnapped her and held her in a seedy motel.
Line 81 ⟶ 89:
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: When she was with [[D Generation X]].
* [["Take That!" Kiss]]: A number with [[Triple H]], the crowner probably being their in-ring smooch during the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ-eC3qhAyk "McMahon Family Reunion"] segment (before their marriage was official on-air canon).
{{quote|'''Stephanie''': [[Vince McMahon|Dad]], you have serious problems. You've embarrassed this family long enough. It's time I embarrassed you. (''makes out with [[Triple H]]'')
'''Hunter''': [[No Fourth Wall|See ya]] [[Happily Married|at home]], Steph!...[[Lame Rhyme Dodge|ooh, I mean, your brother's a gnome]]! }}
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: She stands 5'9.
