WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon recently sent out a shocking message to the pro-wrestling world as she announced that she’ll be taking a “leave of absence” from WWE. WWE star Alexa Bliss took note of the announcement and reacted to it.
Announcing on Twitter, Stephanie wrote the following statement that she’ll be stepping down from the majority of her responsibilities in WWE to focus on her family. She also added that she’s looking forward to returning.
“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,” wrote Stephanie in her tweet.
Alexa Bliss reacts
Replying to this announcement from Stephanie, former RAW and SmackDown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss sent her a heartfelt message showing her support.
“We love you @StephMcMahon * heart emoji *.”
According to the latest report by Mike Johnson of PWInsider, only a few people backstage knew about this and others only got to know after Stephanie McMahon’s tweet. The report added that many were completely shocked by this news. It read:
“Internally within the company, it appears no one but the most inner circle had any idea this was coming and everyone, to a person that we’ve heard from (and we’ve heard from MANY) were completely shocked and taken aback by the news,” reported PWInsider.
Steph recently made a WWE appearance at WrestleMania 38 when he had introduced the Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson to the fans in attendance. We will have to wait and see when Stephanie decides to make her return to the company.
