Stephanie McMahon went more into detail about her relationship with Connor Michalek, feeling like she always had a special connection with him. She eventually gave Michalek and his dad tickets to WWE WreslteMania 30 in order to give them an experience to remember together.

"When I said goodbye to Connor, I gave him a little kiss on his cheek and I'll never forget how soft his cheek was, and then he turned around and he looked at me, and I know this sounds crazy but I swear our souls touched ... We invited him to WrestleMania and we were thinking give him something to hang on for and it worked because hope is really important and hope really does matter."

McMahon also reflected on doctors not approving of Michalek going to WrestleMania due to his health, advising that he should avoid traveling. However, Connor's dad was determined to make sure his son got to experience "The Showcase of the Immortals." 

"They said this will be a disaster, don't travel. His dad did it anyway and he said it was like he had his little boy back ... then his hero Daniel Bryan ultimately wins it all at Wrestlemania and Daniel Bryan came over to him with the championship and said, 'You did this and you have to continue your fight.'"

Michalek passed away three weeks after WrestleMania 30, with McMahon revealing that he died in his dad's arms on April 25, 2014. She also explained that WWE has raised millions of dollars for children suffering from cancer, and that she remains determined to raise money and be involved in a number of different campaigns outside the company.
