He added that the Co-CEO of WWE got a call while they were driving for a family vacation asking her to step up as the CEO and Chairwoman of the company.
"We're gonna go up to our lake house and relax. And she's like ready to go up there. This is like the beginning of the like the full-on take a break. And we're literally in the car driving up there and we get the phone call, that says, 'we need you to step in, would you step in as chairwoman and CEO in the now,' and she's like, 'can I call you back in a little bit and think about this for a minute? And we spend the rest of the drive, driving up there and like there was a time limit on that." [54:43 - 55:27]
