Stephanie announced her resignation from WWE this Tuesday, with the move coming after Vince McMahon forced his return to WWE as executive chairman to pursue a potential sale of the company. Stephanie was named chairwoman and co-CEO following her father’s retirement last July. Nick Khan is now the sole CEO of WWE.
Axios reported on Thursday that both Stephanie and Paul “Triple H” Levesque were opposed to a sale of WWE: “Sources told Axios that Stephanie McMahon and her husband Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque, the company’s chief content officer and a retired professional wrestler, had opposed a sale.”
