Stephanie McMahon is a big supporter of Vince McMahon’s “illegitimate son.”
Vince McMahon has been involved in some of the most notorious and bizarre storylines throughout the years, and Stephanie McMahon is no stranger to this as well as she was mostly roped into many of them. One of them involves an apparent illegitimate son of the former WWE Chairman.
From 2007 to 2008, Vince McMahon‘s hidden illegitimate son was revealed to be Hornswoggle (Dylan Postl). However, it was later revealed that the former superstar’s “father” was actually Finlay, marking the beginning of their partnership. The storyline involved the former CEO placing his “son” in matches against larger opponents to show tough love, even resulting in a McMahon vs. Hornswoggle match.
Despite the on-screen animosity between Vince and Hornswoggle, the latter has a great relationship with the former’s daughter, Stephanie McMahon. As it turns out, Steph and the former WWE star maintains a positive relationship.
On What’s Your Story? With Stephanie McMahon, Hornswoggle thanked the titular star for being his biggest supporter before and after his time in the Stamford-based promotion. Dylan noted that Steph helped him not just in the ring, but also with concerns outside of the squared circle and regarding his autobiography Life Is Short And So Am I in 2019.
I wanna thank you for being my number one supporter in my time with WWE and post. You have been my number one supporter. Whether it be in ring, whether it be outside the ring, whether it be book stuff. You’ve always been a person to just give me a pat on the back and go, ‘Hey, you’re doing okay.’”
