Stephanie McMahon's RAW appearance part of strategic move
Former WWE RAW General Manager Jonathan Coachman discusses Stephanie McMahon’s front-row appearance during Netflix debut episode.
Jonathan Coachman shared his perspective on Stephanie McMahon’s presence at the historic first WWE RAW on Netflix. McMahon was spotted in the front row during the groundbreaking broadcast.
Prior to her departure in January 2023, McMahon served as WWE’s Chairwoman and co-CEO following Vince McMahon’s initial retirement in 2022. Since Vince McMahon’s permanent exit from WWE last year, she has made several television appearances supporting Triple H’s role as Chief Content Officer.
During The Coach & Bro Show, Coachman offered insight into the significance of McMahon’s attendance:
Showing Stephanie in the front row last week was to prove a point and needle Vince a bit, who they knew would be watching at home. She had that classic smile, happy to be there and applauding. You know, that was strategic.
WWE kicked off its new era with Netflix on January 6, marking the first RAW episode streamed on the platform.
