McMahon wrestling family

The McMahon wrestling family are the founders and owners of WWE.

It began when Roderick McMahon, known as "Jess",[1] started promoting wrestling shows in 1925.[2] When he died in 1954, his son, Vincent J. McMahon, took over the business.[1] Vincent J. had two wives, Victoria (Vickie) and Juanita, with Vickie still living today.[2][3][4] When Vincent J. retired in 1982, his son from his first marriage, Vincent K. McMahon, took over the business and currently serves as chairman and chief executive officer of the company.[5][6]

Vince and Linda's children are Shane and Stephanie.[7] Shane is married to Marissa Mazzola[8] and Stephanie is married to Paul Levesque, better known as Triple H.[7]

Stephanie and Triple H have three daughters named Aurora Rose Levesque, Murphy Claire Levesque, and Vaughn Evelyn Levesque.[9][10] Shane and Marissa have two sons, Declan James McMahon and Kenyon Jesse McMahon.[8]

Linda McMahon would step down as CEO to get involved in politics. Shane McMahon also eventually departed WWE. Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon are the only two members born into the McMahon family still working under the brand.
