And yeah, I’m happy for her that she’s going to be able now to take time off and enjoy time with her family. And yeah, I think you should be happy for anyone who’s in a position to do that.

Not many expected Stephanie's abrupt departure in what has been a rollercoaster start to 2023 for the Stamford-based promotion.
Speaking on his Drive Thru podcast, Jim Cornette shared his thoughts on other ways that WWE could have handled The Billion Dollar Princess' resignation.
"'I’ve decided now to, as a buyer, leave, go back to spending more time with my family and also f*ck you I quit!!'. They could of at least had her say ‘I’m gonna continue my leave and spend more time with my children’ and let her quit next week but no." (H/T Sportskeeda)
