WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephane McMahon recently appeared on The Rich Eisen Show, speaking on a number of topics including memories of Andre The Giant, WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures, and which celebrities she’d like to see in WWE.
Stephanie McMahon said she would like to see tennis stars, Venus and Serena Williams either together or individually work with WWE, as well as Cardi B and Matthew McConaughey.
“From an athlete perspective, I would love to see the Williams’ sisters [Venus and Serena] either individually or together. There are so many incredible female and male athletes out there that I would love to bring into WWE. From a celebrity standpoint, in addition to the ones we’ve already worked with, I think it could be really cool to work with Cardi B. She had a tweet she put out not long ago which was in reference to her name on the show. I think she’s so colorful herself and so vivacious and full of life that I think she would even bring it up a notch in WWE. I think she’d be awesome.”
“I think that going in a completely other direction, Matthew McConaughey has been really catching on in terms of WWE. He was on RAW to promote his book and he and Drew had an interaction. There just seems like there is opportunity there. There are so many young influencers and gamers and everything else. I think WWE is this incredible world – almost like this gaming world come to life with all these different characters and backstories. So, I think there are a lot of untapped celebrities and influencers I would love to work with.”
