Stephanie McMahon has been part of WWE her entire life, and she knows the business inside and out. For a long time, she has been given credit for ushering in the Womens Revolution in WWE, but now it appears McMahon has been accused of stealing credit for that idea.
In the mid-2010s, WWEs womens division was struggling, with female wrestlers getting very little TV time. Fans started an online campaign asking WWE to give them more chances. WWE ultimately listened, and Stephanie McMahon took charge, bringing in new talent and better matches that have only gotten better with time.
While speaking on BroDown, Vince Russo and Dutch Mantell talked about the Womens Revolution in WWE. Vince Russo accused Stephanie McMahon of stealing credit for starting the revolution, arguing that Dutch Mantell had already built a top-tier womens roster in TNA years earlier.
Russo pointed out that Mantell helped stars like Gail Kim, Awesome Kong, and The Beautiful People long before WWE focused on womens wrestling. He argued that while WWE made the Womens Revolution popular, Mantell had already helped make womens wrestling great in TNA.
As for Stephanie McMahons current role in WWE, she is focusing on a WWE podcast as well asherupcoming ESPN+ series, Stephanies Places. Regardless, there is no doubt that Stephanie McMahon played a role in improving the womens division in WWE, but Vince Russo certainly doesnt feel she deserves credit for that.
