Earlier this month we heard from Stephanie McMahon that she would be stepping away from her role within the WWE for a while. McMahon cited wanting to spend more time with her family as the reason for her hiatus and the reaction was one of shock.
In fact, many in WWE were utterly surprised by the announcement as well. While speaking on The Ariel Helwani Show, former WWE Superstar Lance Storm talked about Stephanie’s hiatus from WWE. He blamed it on an ”all or nothing” mentality, which ultimately became too much for her.
“I wouldn’t be surprised with Steph and Hunter [Triple H], that they’re falling victims to the all or nothing mentality.
And when you’re in WWE, man, you’re in WWE. It’s a 24/7 lifestyle and I can see where Hunter led that 24/7 lifestyle, and he’s got a family he’s got to try to, you know, be a part of as well that he rode that until he almost physically broke. He had the heart issue, and had to go, ‘I gotta stop.’
And maybe stopping and getting away, maybe Steph and him realized that maybe 24/7 at work isn’t the best thing for us. And I believe Hunter is coming back and doing more, and maybe Steph decided, you know, Hunter had however long he had off. I don’t know what it was. Maybe she’s like, ‘I need that too.’”
