Throwback: When Vince McMahon Pitched an Incest Storyline Involving Stephanie McMahon
Vince McMahon
is, without a doubt, one of the most important figures in the history of professional wrestling. After all, he was the 'brain' behind taking the
WWE
to where it is today. Let it be iconic feuds through his 'Mr. McMahon' character against
Stone Cold Steve Austin
, The Rock, or his lengthy 'Monday Night Wars' battle with Eric Bischoff and WCW, the former WWE CEO has done it all.
But this genius has come at a cost, and during his illustrious term, McMahon has given the green signal to certain storylines or ideas that have not sat well with the majority of the fans. However, there was one instance where a member of his family said a big no to McMahon's plan for a storyline. And it is none other than his own daughter,
Stephanie McMahon
.
Stephanie McMahon Flat Out Refused to Be Part of the 'Incest' Storyline
In the mid-2000s, a pregnant Stephanie was in a storyline that involved her real-life husband and now
WWE
CCO,
Triple H
, Vince, and her brother Shane.
It had an element of mystery related to the unborn child's parentage. This is when Vince came up with a rather gross idea and pitched an incest storyline in which he would be revealed as the child's father.
This is something Stephanie flatly refused, and sometime later in a documentary produced by WWE, she recalled the embarrassing incident. 'My dad did approach me about wanting to be the father of my baby in the storyline for TV, which was actually only the second time I've said 'no' to him for something he wanted to do.'
'That one was just a little too gross, actually. It was completely disgusting, and I don't find the entertainment value in it at all. And he's actually my father, so how could I even play that out? I can't fake kiss my dad like we were in love or something. It's just revolting all the way around,' she added.
And if this wasn't enough, Vince further pitched the idea of revealing Shane as the father of Stephanie's child. 'Then he came up with the idea of Shane to be the father of my baby, my brother.
Again, I [just said] 'no'. 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.'
Moreover, the former WWE CEO confirmed this himself during one of the episodes of 'Mr. McMahon' docuseries on Netflix. Vince revealed, 'One of my storyline ideas was that Stephanie gets pregnant. I think...I was the one who impregnated her. My character. I think it was something like that. It [Stephanie's response] was like 'No'. That one didn't make it.'

As reported by TMZ Sports, Mya and Drew met while attending Colorado State University, where both competed in sports—she in track and field, and he on the football team. Mya recently made headlines by winning the 2025 NCAA Division I shot put title. Moss, meanwhile, started 25 games over two seasons for CSU before signing with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent earlier this year. A viral reveal with WWE and NFL fans watching Moss's simple Instagram post quickly gained traction. According to the Times of India, the pairing has stirred buzz across both NFL and WWE circles, not just for who they are, but for their athletic pedigrees. Mya is not only a top-tier collegiate athlete but also the daughter of a former WWE and UFC champion. While Moss is yet to make his NFL debut, he has already grabbed attention far beyond training camp headlines. With fans from both the WWE and NFL now watching closely, this young couple may have just turned their college romance into one of sports' most talked-about young relationships.

Antonio Brown mocks Joy Taylor after Fox Sports exit (Image via: Getty Images) Joy Taylor's sudden departure from Fox Sports after nearly a decade shocked many fans and industry insiders.

Taylor had become one of the most prominent female voices in sports broadcasting, known for her sharp commentary and appearances on The Herd, Undisputed, and Speak. Her departure, however, came just months after she was named in a sexual assault and discrimination lawsuit filed by former Fox employee Noushin Faraji. Taylor has denied all allegations, and no official findings have been made public. Just two days after the firing, Antonio Brown posted a photoshopped image of Taylor's face edited onto a female police officer's body—an apparent reference to Maegan Hall, a Tennessee cop who gained notoriety in 2023 for allegedly engaging in inappropriate relationships with colleagues. While Brown didn't add a caption, the implication was clear, and the post quickly went viral for all the wrong reasons. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cách giao dịch ETH/USD mà không cần nắm giữ Ether IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Social media users, journalists, and fans condemned Brown's post as offensive, sexist, and completely uncalled for.
