Backstage News On Stephanie McMahon’s WWE Hiatus

They aren’t sure. WWE is the biggest and most powerful wrestling promotion in the world and has been for a very long time now. A lot of this has been due to the names behind the scenes who make the company’s major decisions. Those names are very important and one of them making a change can mark a major shakeup in the company. Now we might know why one such change took place.

Earlier this month, Stephanie McMahon took a leave of absence from her executive position in WWE. During an appearance on the We’re Live Pal podcast, Andrew Zarian said that he received a phone call from a high up in WWE who said that there were doubts in WWE about McMahon’s abilities as an executive. This came after McMahon took on some of the departed Michelle Wilson’s responsibilities in ad sales and sponsorships. There is no word on why someone would want this information out or if McMahon will be away from WWE. On the same show, Dave Meltzer said that if McMahon does return, it will be in a different role.

Opinion: I’m not sure what is going on with the McMahon situation, but it is certainly a different way to go for WWE. At some point, the McMahon family isn’t going to be around any longer and it could be rather interesting to see what that means. If Stephanie and Shane McMahon are not there, I’m not sure who winds up owning the company, but whoever it is would have about all the power there is in the industry.
