Regarding Stephanie, AdWeek wrote, “Divas” are dead, and “superstars” are born, thanks to McMahon, who retired the old-school name for WWE’s women grapplers and replaced it with the same title superstars given to the sport’s male competitors. McMahon, daughter of CEO Vince McMahon, has spent two decades in nearly every facet of the WWE, both on-air and in its business operations, helping make WrestleMania 33 a $14.5 million-grossing, attendance-breaking event at the Orlando Citrus Bowl this spring (besting a 2015 concert by the Rolling Stones).
Other names on the list include Erika Nardini (CEO, Barstool Sports), Lisa Borders (President, WNBA), Erin Andrews (Broadcaster, Fox Sports), Nancy Dubuc (President, CEO, A+E Networks) and Dawn Hudson (Chief marketing officer, National Football League).
