The McMahon family (/məkˈmæn/mək-MAN) is an American family of Irish descent, primarily known for their involvement in the professional wrestling business. They were the founders, owners and promoters of the world's largest wrestling company, WWE. Vince McMahon, a third-generation wrestling promoter, was the chairman and chief executive officer of the company. His son-in-law, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, currently serves as the Chief Content Officer (CCO) and head of creative for WWE. Vince's son Shane McMahon also occasionally performs as a wrestler in WWE, while his wife Linda McMahon and daughter Stephanie McMahon have also had various roles in the company but are currently not involved.
The McMahon's involvement in professional wrestling dates back to 1915 with Jess McMahon when he began promoting shows. Before Jess's death in 1954, he and his son Vincent J. McMahon formed Capitol Wrestling Corporation (CWC) in 1953, which became a Northeastern territory of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), but following a dispute in early 1963, CWC left the NWA and became the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF). Vincent's son Vince joined his father's WWWF in 1969 and purchased the promotion 13 years later, which had been renamed to World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1979. The company went public in 1999 and was then renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in 2002, with "WWE" becoming its public trade name in 2011. Today, its programs are broadcast in 150 countries and more than 30 languages.[1] In April 2023, Vince sold the company to Endeavor, the parent company of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC); the sale was finalized in September, with WWE and UFC merging to become divisions of TKO.
The McMahon family has also branched out into movie production and American football, with two incarnations of the XFL.
