Stephanie McMahon hasn’t been a regular on WWE programming in quite some time, but she’s been a key figure for the company behind the scenes. Last week Stephanie McMahon shocked the world when she posted a tweet announcing that she would be taking a leave of absence to focus on her family.
PWInsider reports that everyone within WWE that has asked about Stephanie McMahon’s leave of absence was told that she is taking an extended leave due to the last year being very rough on her family.
Right now WWE President Nick Khan is working with several of WWE’s partners in Stephanie’s absence. However, it’s believed that eventually WWE will be bringing someone in to handle brand management on an executive level full-time.
Last year Stephanie’s husband Triple H suffered a cardiac event that led to him officially retiring from in-ring competition. Triple H was forced to step away from WWE to focus on his health, but it was recently reported that he has returned to work full-time. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
