Speculation grows about Stephanie McMahon’s potential WWE return to confront Kevin Owens following recent developments on SmackDown. McMahon’s last appearance came at SummerSlam 2024, where she watched from ringside.

The former Universal Champion has caused significant disruption, including sidelining Randy Orton. After Cody Rhodes confronted Owens on SmackDown, leading to an intervention from General Manager Nick Aldis, The Prizefighter released a promotional video addressing the situation.

Owens shared this promo on X, tagging several WWE executives including Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, Nick Aldis, and The Rock, along with WWE and TKO Group. This action sparked discussions about McMahon potentially returning as an authority figure to challenge Owens’ actions heading into Survivor Series: WarGames.
