Vince McMahon is the CEO of WWE and has the final say in everything that goes on in the company, whether it be related to production, storylines or matches in general. Stephanie McMahon ‘Sued’ By Fired WWE Stars?
Several WWE Superstars were let go by the company last week as part of the pandemic budget cuts. Among the Superstars released included Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Mojo Rawley and others. This week’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown did not have a lot of announcements before the start of the show and it seems there was a reason for that.
According to a report by Ringside News, many fans began wondering whether there was a lack of WWE Superstars on the show due to the 45-minute opening segment transitioning into a tag team match.
