Vince has also stepped down from his positions of CEO and Chairman. WWE recently confirmed in a press release that Vince McMahon stepped down from the positions of Chairman and CEO. It was recently announced that the former WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon would taking up the duties as the interim WWE CEO And Chairwoman. Recently, in quite an interesting development from the Sports Business Journal, McMahon reached a settlement with former XFL commissioner Oliver Luck.
Amid these, Vince also appeared on both SmackDown and Raw to show that he wasn’t going anywhere. After his appearance on the June 17 SmackDown, McMahon’s behavior was completely defiant.
Vince McMahon was reportedly aggressive backstage
McMahon didn’t have much to say during that appearance. He echoed WWE’s “Then, Now, Forever, Together,” catchphrase and left. Once he returned to the backstage area, his demeanor was much more aggressive.
Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful posted an update on the situation behind the Fightful paywall. He noted that multiple WWE staffers reacted to today’s news that McMahon paid off several other women to keep quiet about inappropriate sexual encounters. Perhaps out of frustration, they shared Vince McMahon’s true reaction to the allegations.
“Upon publishing the story, Fightful was contacted by multiple WWE staff, including some who had remained quiet in the past about McMahon’s handling of the situation. One told Fightful they wished they’d spoken out sooner, and said that McMahon’s response would often go from “no selling the whole thing,” to “being defiant.” They also said that after Vince McMahon’s “pointless” June 17 appearance, he returned to the Gorilla position and shouted “F*ck em!” seemingly in response to the allegations that caused his insistence to appear on television.”
Vince McMahon has been 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. It is not known which member leaked the story. There are twelve people on the board. Now, a video clip has surfaced on the internet which shows Vince McMahon alleged of sexual assault.
