WWE kept it a secret until the Tweet
As per 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.
Stephanie McMahon also revealed she recently suffered an injury but that she is making great progress in training getting back to full strength. She recently made a WWE appearance at WrestleMania 38 when he introduced the Olympic Gold Medalist Gable Steveson to the fans in attendance. There is currently no timetable for Stephanie McMahon to return to the WWE. We will have to wait and see when Stephanie decides to make her return to the company.
