More details continue to come out about Stephanie McMahon’s leave of absence from WWE.
As previously reported here on eWn, Business Insider noted that McMahon’s leave of absence was “executed” by Vince McMahon. Stephanie stated that she left because she wanted to focus on her family. It was added that Stephanie’s leave was due to WWE not generating the growth they wanted under her.
Dave Meltzer discussed the situation on the F4W Online message board. He said her departure was “100% her choice” and that she had been discussing it with close friends ever since Triple H had his health issues.
Now, Fightful Select reports that people involved with WWE since before Nick Khan came into power were shooting down the report before it dropped.
Some hires from Khan’s regime said that there were performance issues and things for Stephanie to improve on, but not to the level that she was pushed out as both sides say that the decision was Stephanie’s.
McMahon was still included on production emails up until Monday’s episode of RAW, and her finally being taken off was a matter of “housekeeping.”
WWE Head of Global Sales & Partnerships Claudine Lilien was recently released and was not looked upon as a great hire by McMahon and that there were a lot of areas of improvement there including selling sponsors on a much broader and long term basis, as opposed to selling them on a single show basis.
