Another WWE personality departs from the company following Vince McMahon's return - Reports
Since Vince McMahon's return to WWE, there have been some major changes, and as the days go by, rumors are running rampant online as to what the state of the global juggernaut will look like in the not-too-distant future.
Two long-tenured veterans of the Stamford-based company have resigned from their current posts. It was earlier reported that Adam Hopkins, Vice President of Communications, who was part of the company for more than 25 years, had left the promotion.
As per a report by PWInsider, Stefanie Fiondella, Vice President of Communications, also exited the company last week. She was with WWE from 2014-2019 and returned in April 2021.
Perhaps the biggest shocker of them all was former co-CEO Stephanie McMahon's departure from the Stamford-based promotion.
Then. Now. Forever. Together. https://t.co/8dqr5reIiv
It remains to be further seen how many more dismissals and resignations will take place in the coming months as the company goes through the busiest time of its calendar year.

WWE's Executive Chairman has been the most important name to catapult the promotion into the status it is in today.
The mainstream popularity and the fact that it still remains the global juggernaut company of all wrestling promotions in the world gives McMahon the right to do what he wants.
