Netflix\u2019s new docuseries on disgraced former WWE chairman\u00a0Vince McMahon<\/a>\u00a0has plenty of head-turning revelations throughout its six episodes, but one of the most shocking moments involves the longtime professional wrestling promoter and his daughter Stephanie McMahon.<\/p>\n During an episode which discusses his family\u2019s involvement as on-screen WWE characters, McMahon, 79, at one point admits to Netflix producers that he wrote a storyline that involved him impregnating his own daughter.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, one of my storyline ideas was that Stephanie gets pregnant, and I think I was the one who impregnated her \u2014 my character,\u201d McMahon says in the docuseries, released this week. \u201cI think it was something like that and it was like, \u2018No.\u2019 That one didn\u2019t make it.\u201d<\/p>\n The shocking moment comes in the series\u2019 fifth episode at a time when the documentary is illustrating just how far McMahon would push wrestlers to do controversial storylines during what was known as WWE\u2019s \u201cAttitude Era\u201d in the late 1990s and early 2000s.<\/p>\n During the scene, Netflix producers ask several former WWE wrestlers whether they\u2019ve ever experienced situations with McMahon where he\u2019s written a controversial script and they\u2019ve thought \u201cthis is too far.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, there were a couple but I\u2019m not going to tell the one,\u201d Stephanie laughs when she\u2019s asked the question.<\/p>\n Stephanie\u2019s real life husband Paul \u201cTriple H\u201d Levesque, who also played her love interest on screen since the late 90s, also laughs off the question. \u201cYeah [there were], and then Vince would make me do it anyway,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n Throughout the Netflix series, current and former WWE employees open up about what it was like to work with McMahon and describe how there was an unspoken pressure to say \u201cyes\u201d to whatever McMahon asked them to do \u2014 both on screen and off screen.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was a bit of concern amongst performers that if you didn\u2019t do what you were asked that you would get punished, and yeah, it did happen to some on occasion\u2026sometimes,\u201d former WWE Women\u2019s Champion and WWE Hall of Fame wrestler Trish Stratus says, pointing to herself and nodding in recognition to the camera.<\/p>\n Stratus then points to a situation where one week she said no to an idea McMahon had for her to make out with another women\u2019s wrestler during a televised segment. The very next week, Stratus says, the script had her lose her championship to another wrestler. \u201cMaybe I got punished, I\u2019m not sure,\u201d she laughs, again raising an eyebrow to the camera.<\/p>\n McMahon\u00a0first resigned<\/a>\u00a0as the chairman of WWE in June 2022 amid sexual harassment allegations and announced his retirement a month after, only to return and\u00a0reinstate himself as WWE chairman<\/a>\u00a0six months later.<\/p>\n The longtime WWE chairman then sold a majority of his stake in the company during a September 2023 merger with UFC. McMahon\u00a0again resigned<\/a>\u00a0as the head of WWE\u00a0amid new allegations<\/a>\u00a0made in a January 2024 lawsuit filed by a former employee who accused him of sexual assault, harassment and trafficking her to other employees, including wrestlers.<\/p>\n Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for\u00a0PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter\u00a0<\/a>to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n McMahon has denied the allegations and refused to continue showing up for interviews Netflix had been conducting with him for its new documentary after the January 2024 lawsuit was filed.\u00a0Earlier this week,\u00a0McMahon slammed the docuseries<\/a>, claiming it’s “misleading” and “deceptive.”<\/p>\n The lawsuit is currently on hold as the U.S. Justice Department investigates McMahon and\u00a0several sexual misconduct allegations<\/a>\u00a0that have been made against him, according to\u00a0ABC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" McMahon laughs while talking about the idea during a new Netflix documentary about his life and controversies, released this week Netflix\u2019s new docuseries on disgraced former WWE chairman\u00a0Vince McMahon\u00a0has … <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8947","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8947","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8947"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8947\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8950,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8947\/revisions\/8950"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8947"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8947"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8947"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Vince](\"https:\/\/people.com\/thmb\/NNK4dj0ipSo0oKj-komZdnFZITo=\/4000x0\/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(705x0:707x2):format(webp)\/vince-mcmahon-stephanie-1-092624-7fde590ad7e345418afb3b6736159466.jpg\")
