Backstage update on Stephanie McMahon's recent WWE departure
There has been yet another update regarding Stephanie McMahon's announcement that she would be taking time off from WWE.
Last month, McMahon took to social media and announced that she would be taking a leave of absence from the majority of her duties in the company. This was a shocking turn of events that few people outside the company saw coming.
A report yesterday from Business Insider revealed that Stephanie's absence was executed by her father, Vince McMahon. However, this report has since been disputed by multiple outlets.
In an update on the situation from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, it was confirmed that the report isn't the case at all.
Some of the new hires from the Nick Khan regime told Sapp that "there were performance issues and things to improve upon." However, nothing that serious enough to cost Stephanie her job with WWE. At the end of the day, both regimes confirmed to SRS that the decision to step away last month was hers.
