Stephanie McMahon Comments on Long Term Goals for WWE to Become as Big as Disney

Stephanie McMahon was among the panel of guests at this week’s Web Summit 2018 event in Lisbon, Portugal and one of the topics discussed included her ambitious long term goals for the WWE.

“10-20-30 years from now, there’s no reason we can’t be as big [as] or bigger than Disney. Now that’s a tall order, especially given recent transactions. However, there’s no reason why we can’t get there. You have to dream big, have big, bold goals, and go after them.”
