Stephanie McMahon will helm new series on ESPN+
McMahon will travel the country to discover the real stories behind WWE’s greatest successes in her show.
Stephanie McMahon is returning to the world of wrestling. The former WWE co-CEO was forced to step out of that role by the return of her father to the top job in 2023, and has been away from wrestling ever since. But as she announced on the “Pat McAfee Show” on Thursday, that hiatus is ending; McMahon is set to host a new series on ESPN+ dubbed “Stephanie’s Places,” which will be produced in partnership with Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions.
Key Details:
- “Stephanie’s Places” will see McMahon traveling the world to uncover stories about big-name wrestlers.
- Stone Cold Steve Austin and other huge WWE personalities will be featured.
- The series will debut on ESPN+ in March.
The new series starring McMahon will see her trotting the globe to explore stories about some of the biggest names in wrestling over the years. According to McMahon, the goal of the show is to “really tell the stories that haven’t been told, and to find out more about the people behind the characters.”
“These people are all hugely successful, but like most people, they’ve been knocked around a lot,” McMahon explained during her “Pat McAfee” appearance. “So how did they overcome the challenges that were put in front of them?”
The show will feature some highly recognizable wrestling personalities, including Stone Cold Steve Austin Charlotte Flair, and Roman Reigns. Check out a teaser for the new series below:

As shown in the promo, the show will debut on ESPN+ sometime in March, though no official date was given. Viewers likely won’t be able to see any episodes of “Stephanie’s Places” on linear TV, so they’ll need a subscription to ESPN+ starting at $12 per month to watch. McMahon expressed an excitement to be back in the world of wrestling to McAfee when announcing the series.
“I do think I wanted to disappear for a little while, and I kind of did. It was good for me. I needed it, and now I’m back,” she said.
