Reports have come to light that the newly appointed Interim WWE CEO and Chairwoman share a contentious relationship with executive producer Kevin Dunn. It was Brandon Thurston who reported this piece of information.
Stephanie McMahon and Kevin Dunn has a rivalry
In a recent appearance on Busted Open, journalist Brandon Thurston explained that Stephanie and Dunn don’t see eye-to-eye backstage in the company. He heard that the rivalry between the two is no secret as he said the following:
“I know that Stephanie is going to be interim CEO, but I’ve heard from many people that Stephanie and Kevin Dunn, for example, don’t like each other. And as long as someone like Kevin Dunn has a job at WWE, this seems to be for public consumption, looking around at some of the headlines that I see in mainstream media today. I think WWE is getting the response in the headlines that they want,” said Thurston.
The former WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon was recently named the interim CEO And Chairwoman after Vince McMahon stepped down from his duties. It comes after Vince got entailed in a controversial matter. The Wall Street Journal recently unveiled that WWE is investigating a secret $3 million settlement paid to a former employee of Mr. McMahon. The probe has also scooped several claims of misconduct from former employees toward The Chairman and top executive John Laurinaitis. Stephanie also sent a message after taking up the duties.
It was only last month that Stephanie had announced she would be taking a leave of absence from WWE, stepping down from her role as Chief Brand Officer, and now she has been thrust into the most powerful position in the company. Stephanie McMahon had made a shocking announcement when she let the pro-wrestling world that she is taking a hiatus.
