“Dear WWE Universe, about 8 months ago I took a leave of absence and within a few weeks suddenly had the opportunity of a lifetime,” McMahon wrote on Twitter. “I have had the honor of returning as Co-CEO and Chairman of the Board of WWE. I cannot express my pride in leading a company that I consider to be great. world’s biggest, working alongside a remarkable leadership team and one of the strongest executives I’ve ever known with my co-CEO, Nick Khan.”
McMahon goes on to say that Vince McMahon is back at the company–He voted himself back to WWE’s board of directors on January 6–and Stephanie believes the company is in a “strong position”, so she will be taking a sabbatical again and resigning.
