Well, folks, the Billion Dollar Princess is back—but not in the boardroom. Instead, Stephanie McMahon is bringing WWE history straight to ESPN+ with her brand-new interview series, “Stephanie’s Places.”
After months of speculation, WWE and ESPN have officially announced that the series will premiere on March 26 and will run for ten episodes. Produced by Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions (yes, that Peyton Manning), the show is basically a wrestling-fueled spin on “Peyton’s Places”—except instead of quarterbacks, Steph will be chatting with legends, champions, and maybe even a few people she’s fired over the years.
Stephanie’s Vision for the Show
“WWE has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m looking forward to having viewers join me as we visit some of the most iconic stars of past and present, in places of meaning for them, and hear how they overcame adversity to become who they are today.”
Translation: We’re getting exclusive behind-the-scenes stories, nostalgia, and possibly a few awkward moments if certain guests (cough CM Punk cough) decide to get spicy.
Guest Lineup: A Who’s Who of WWE Royalty
The first episode kicks off with a bang as Stephanie sits down with CM Punk, just before SummerSlam 2024. Considering Punk and WWE’s, uh, complicated history, this could either be an insightful deep dive… or a steel cage interview match.
The rest of the season will feature interviews with:
- Cody Rhodes – The Undisputed WWE Champion, possibly reflecting on his endless battle with Roman Reigns.
- Rhea Ripley – Mami’s got something to say, and you will listen.
- Stone Cold Steve Austin – Expect beer, nostalgia, and at least one Stunner reference.
- Charlotte Flair – The Queen speaks. Will she discuss her next 14 title reigns in advance?
- Roman Reigns & The Bloodline – A deep dive into the WWE’s most dominant faction… unless Solo Sikoa just stares silently for an hour.
- Pat McAfee – Energy levels set to MAX.
- The Undertaker – Will the Deadman break kayfabe again? Spooky.
- Triple H – Husband privileges secured. Probably a sentimental chat about life, family, and the Cerebral Assassin’s executive moves.
- John Cena (Final Episode, May 28) – Cena is heading toward retirement (allegedly), and this episode will be a must-watch as he reflects on his legendary career.
Final Thoughts
Stephanie McMahon is stepping into the interviewer’s chair, and with a guest lineup this stacked, Stephanie’s Places is shaping up to be a must-watch for any WWE fan. Expect laughter, insight, and maybe a few subtle jabs at past controversies.
March 26 can’t come soon enough.
