WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon, the daughter of a former wrestler and founder of the Entertainment Empire, announced on Thursday that she was taking a leave of absence.

The announcement was made in a tweet on Thursday afternoon.

“From tomorrow, I’m taking a leave of absence from most of my responsibilities at WWE,” he wrote. “WWE is a lifelong legacy for me and I look forward to returning to the company I love after taking this time to focus on my family.”

The McMahon family and Stephanie herself have been a part of wrestling for decades, building brands like RAW, NXT and SmackDown. Despite being challenged by upstarts, WWE’s per-view events are still huge draws and television shows have consistently won ratings.

McMahon has worked in the WWE since she was a young girl, joining the family business full time after graduating from college. He began appearing in the air for the WWE (then known as the World Wrestling Federation) and was involved in several big stories. She once held the WWF Women’s Championship, and participated in a fictional “Leave Me” match with father Vince McMahon.

He has been cut back in sporadic TV appearances. He became Chief Brand Officer in December 2013, working with advertisers, media, business partners and investors. She is married to fellow wrestler Triple H aka Paul Levesque. The couple has three daughters.

As of tomorrow, I’m taking a leave of absence from most of my responsibilities at WWE. WWE is a lifelong legacy for me and I look forward to returning to the company I love after taking this time to focus on my family.
