    Vince Out- Stephanie McMahon Taking Over as WWE CEO

    Wrestling mogul Vince McMahon will be voluntarily stepping down as CEO and Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc (WWE). His daughter, Stephanie McMahon, will be taking over in the interim. But Vince will remain the head booker for the company’s on-air product and will keep his creative roles.

    This decision is due to a current probe into possible misconduct on the part of McMahon. A June 15th report from The Wall Street Journal detailed an investigation by the WWE into a $3 million payment, which was allegedly sent from McMahon to a female employee to cover up a consensual affair. The employee had a separation agreement which prevented her from discussing her relationship with McMahon.

    In April, the WWE board began an investigation into the claims. Reportedly, they found other, older nondisclosure agreements along the same lines. Some of these claims were made by former female WWE employees about misconduct on the part of McMahon and WWE head of talent relations, John Laurinaitis. Laurinaitis is also under investigation.

    “I have pledged my complete cooperation to the investigation by the special committee, and I will do everything possible to support the investigation,” Vince McMahon said in a prepared statement. “I have also pledged to accept the findings and outcome of the investigation, whatever they are.”

    “I love this company and am committed to working with the Independent Directors to strengthen our culture and our Company; it is extremely important to me that we have a safe and collaborative workplace,” Stephanie McMahon said. “I have committed to doing everything in my power to help the Special Committee complete its work, including marshaling the cooperation of the entire company to assist in the completion of the investigation and to implement its findings.”

    Until the conclusion of the investigation into recent allegations, I am honored to assume the role of interim Chairwoman & CEO. I love @WWE and all it continues to do to entertain billions around the world. https://t.co/E2MushpoSG
