McMahon hasn’t popped on WWE television as often as she has in the past in recent years, but she’s still appeared on television every so often. McMahon’s husband Triple H recently went through some health issues that took a while to recover from, and while he seems to be on the mend, he officially retired from in-ring competition in interviews leading up to WrestleMania 38. As for Stephanie, she hasn’t been in the ring for a minute either, and while she doesn’t expect that to change, she didn’t completely rule it out in a recent interview with D-Magazine.
“Well, no one’s boots are ever officially hung up. But that being said, Ronda put me in my place about four years ago, so I highly doubt I would make a return to the ring unless it were exactly the perfect right thing that everyone needed me to do,” McMahon said.
