New report emerges regarding Stephanie McMahon's return to WWE
New reports have emerged regarding the return date of Stephanie McMahon, the Chief Brand Officer of WWE.
The 45-year-old recently announced that she's taking a temporary leave of absence from the promotion. She revealed the news on Thursday and said the decision would go into effect immediately. She added that she wanted to focus on her family. Though it's unclear how long McMahon will be gone, she promised to return to WWE after the hiatus.
The latest report from PWInsider suggests that McMahon isn't returning anytime soon. It's also believed that WWE needs to hire someone full-time to take care of Brand Marketing:
"In the short term, it is believed Nick Khan will be overseeing Stephanie McMahon's former team. I would expect WWE, if they aren't already, to begin looking for someone to oversee the Brand Marketing for the company. No one I've spoken to believes McMahon will be returning anytime soon, so the company will need to have someone full-time."
As of tomorrow, I am taking a leave of absence from the majority of my responsibilities at WWE. WWE is a lifelong legacy for me and I look forward to returning to the company that I love after taking this time to focus on my family.
Former announcer comments on Stephanie McMahon's leave of absence from WWE
Wrestling personality SoCal Val reacted to Stephanie McMahon's leave of absence.
In a recent interaction with Riju Dasgupta of Sportskeeda Wrestling, the 36-year-old said she respects the fact that both Stephanie and Triple H are family-oriented:
"I don't know what that's about [on McMahon taking a break] , per se, but I would say that she and Triple H always seem to be, not that I know them very personally, very family oriented. They have kept their family very private, which I really respect. I've come out in interviews before and said that I don't really understand people just letting you in on every aspect of your life."
#StephanieMcMahon is gonna be takin a "leave of absence" from #WWE? Is #TripleH not recoverin well? Or family gettin pushed out by #NickKhan?
I really hope your hubs @StephMcMahon is doing ok, cause this really doesn't sound so good. Hopefully the world is just over reacting.... https://t.co/gKIcXtougF
Vince McMahon's daughter and Triple H married in October 2003 and are parents to three kids. With Triple H announcing his in-ring retirement due to his heart condition on March 25, the two stars are seemingly focused on spending time with each other.
