Why did Linda McMahon leave WWE?
Linda McMahon has recently returned to the headlines for a variety of reasons. The most prominent being is that she is a passionate Republican and has been closely connected with Donald Trump's impending return to the White House. But, there has also been some discourse regarding her time with WWE. Specifically, some are wondering, why did she leave the company?
A cursory Google search reveals a significant link to politics. That's right, Linda McMahon left WWE in 2009 to plunge into the world of politics. She stepped down as CEO of the company she had given years of her life to as she wanted to work toward personal goals. It was a risky maneuver, seeing as the political landscape can be rather unforgiving.
It wasn't easy at first, as her attempt to get a seat in the United States Senate failed, not once, but twice. But, Linda McMahon's perseverance seems to have paid off. After all, part of the reason why there is a buzz surrounding her is her recent nomination to the post of Secretary of Education in Trump's Cabinet.
She has certainly moved on to bigger and better things, but she remains a part of the WWE family. While she may not be in the ring or backstage, she is still a minority owner of the company. However, for now, she will be focusing on her impending duties as Secretary of Education.
Linda McMahon is reportedly separated from her husband Vince McMahon
Linda McMahon is not only making headlines for her appointment as Secretary of Education. She helped build WWE from the ground up alongside her husband Vince McMahon but it has since been reported that the couple are currently separated.
As reported by the Washington Post in a detailed article on the numerous scandals involving Vince McMahon, he and Linda are presently estranged. Even though rumors have been circulating for some time, this is the first time it has been officially acknowledged, as Laura Brevetti, Linda's lawyer, revealed the news to the public.
In light of all that is going on with the McMahon family, this comes as a bit of a shock. Hopefully, we can gain more insight into the situation with time.
