WWE has partnerships with charitable organizations like the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Make-A-Wish Foundation, and the Special Olympics, in addition to starting Connor’s Cure, a charity focused on pediatric cancer.
Former WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon believes in giving back to the community. ‘The Billion Dollar Princess’ didn’t fail to leave a lasting mark with her philanthropic activities during her time with WWE. McMahon resigned as co-CEO of WWE earlier this month.
In an interview with TMZ, The Miz heaped praise on Stephanie and discussed her legacy now that she is no longer with WWE.

On Stephanie’s legacy: “Oh, man, Stephanie McMahon’s legacy? I mean, for me like she’s always been one of the people that you can go to to talk to. I remember when she was head of creative when I first got to WWE, I ran by an idea by her it was called the Dirt Sheet. It was before YouTube was really a cool thing… it was a show that me and my tag team partner [John Morrison] really wanted to do, and we couldn’t get it going. And so we went to Stephanie, I pitched her the idea, and she said, ‘We’re gonna do it’ and literally gave us the the freedom to do it. And it created one of the the the models of what WWE’s YouTube channel is today. And so it started the whole YouTube channel. So yeah that one thing turned it into one of the biggest YouTube channels.”
On Stephanie’s work on the company’s charitable outreach: “Her philanthropy, like she started Connor’s Cure, which is for pediatric cancer research. She started it, and then I fell in love with the the cause.. a lot of money has been raised for pediatric cancer through Connor’s Cure with the V Foundation. So she’s done a lot for the company, and she’s just a really good person as well.”
