Tensions rise as Vince McMahon reportedly cuts ties with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon

In a dramatic development within the
WWE
's inner circle, reports suggest that
Vince McMahon
is no longer on speaking terms with his daughter
Stephanie McMahon
and son-in-law Paul 'Triple H' Levesque. Former WWE commentator Jonathan Coachman recently made the claim, revealing that McMahon has been left "very upset" following recent internal decisions and boardroom dynamics.
According to Coachman, the situation escalated after the WWE board voted to remove McMahon from a position of power amidst legal controversies. It is believed that both Stephanie and
Triple H
voted against him during this pivotal moment, which has led to a breakdown in communication between the trio.

'Vince hasn't spoken to either of them since the vote,' said Coachman on his Behind The Turnbuckle podcast. 'He's angry, and from what I've heard, Shane [McMahon] may be the only family member he's still close with.'
Coachman also mentioned that Vince once described Triple H as 'one too many McMahons in the kitchen,' hinting at long standing tension.
Vince McMahon's dual emotions amid legal turmoil
Coachman also claimed that McMahon is both disheartened by the current state of WWE and oddly pleased by the internal chaos. This revelation comes amid ongoing legal proceedings, with McMahon facing a high-profile lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant, alleging sexual misconduct and trafficking.
A judge recently allowed Grant's amended complaint to proceed, though discovery has been temporarily paused.
Meanwhile, Triple H has become a fan-favorite executive in his new role as WWE's Chief Content Officer. Since taking over creative responsibilities, he has been credited with revitalizing WWE programming and presenting a fresher, more dynamic product.

Despite their shared history and Vince McMahon's role in mentoring Triple H's career, their differences have become increasingly public.
In a past interview, Triple H acknowledged their contrasting approaches to leadership, saying, 'He would run things totally different than I would… He was much more controlling, especially as he got older.'
While McMahon has stepped away from day-to-day operations, Coachman speculated that he might be considering an audacious move to buy back WWE from parent company TKO Group. Though this remains purely speculative, it underscores the uncertainty surrounding McMahon's future in wrestling.
As internal divisions and external legal battles continue to mount, the once-tight McMahon family now appears more fractured than ever. Whether reconciliation is possible remains to be seen - but for now, the silence speaks volumes.
