In the Netflix documentary “Mr. McMahon,” former WWE CEO Vince McMahon reveals a controversial storyline he once proposed: his character impregnating his real-life daughter, Stephanie McMahon.
Reflecting on the idea, Vince admits, “One of my storyline ideas was that Stephanie gets pregnant… I was the one who impregnated her. My character… That one didn’t make it.”
Stephanie had previously addressed this unsettling pitch in another documentary, recalling her immediate rejection: “My dad did approach me about wanting to be the father of my baby in the storyline for TV… That one was just a little too gross… I don’t find the entertainment value in it at all.”
She further expressed her discomfort, stating, “I can’t fake kiss my dad like we were in love or something. It’s just revolting all the way around.”
Undeterred, Vince then suggested involving Stephanie’s brother, Shane McMahon, as the father in the storyline. Stephanie firmly declined this idea as well, emphasizing, “I know that happens in this world, but it’s not going to happen with us. I can’t do that. It’s too much.”
The “Mr. McMahon” documentary delves into various facets of Vince McMahon’s career, including his complex relationships with his children and the often controversial creative decisions that have shaped WWE’s history.
