Stephanie McMahon posted a dressing room photo with Randy Orton to celebrate his 20th anniversary in WWE, as seen below. Randy Orton is a true veteran in the world of professional wrestling as he has worked in WWE for close to twenty years at this point. It seems he has a lot left in the tank and is more than determined to work in WWE for several more years. Triple H also previously approached for a replacement of Randy Orton.
Stephanie McMahon recently announced she’s taking a leave of absence from the company. According to PW Insider, her leave of absence has nothing to do with Sasha Banks and Naomi’s current controversy. After Vince McMahon’s $3 million settlement scandal, he willingly stepped down as the Chairman of WWE. In turn, his daughter Stephanie McMahon was made the Interim CEO of WWE.
According to Mike Johnson of PW Insider, there has been a lot of sympathy backstage for Stephanie McMahon as she was essentially forced back to work despite her wanting to take a long break.
Yes, the primary thing we’ve heard is a lot of sympathy for Stephanie McMahon since she has been all but forced back to work despite wanting to distance herself from the company and take a deep breath for herself. Quite a few have noted to me that they have marveled about how strong Stephanie has been despite what was described as her mother being “disrespected” publicly by the situation, especially since there’s obviously been multiple NDAs involving multiple people beyond the relationship being investigated by the WWE Board of Directors.
