The decision to name Stephanie McMahon as WWE’s Interim CEO & Chairwoman was reportedly made by a Special Committee comprising eight members of WWE’s Board of Directors.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the four Board members who were not involved in the decision-making process were Stephanie, Nick Khan, Vince McMahon and “Triple H” Paul Levesque.
The eight Board members who elected Stephanie are Steve Koonin, the CEO of the Atlanta Hawks and State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Ignace Lahoud, the CEO of Majid Al Futtaim, Erika Nardini, the CEO of Barstool Sports, Steve Pamon, the President of Verzuz, Connor Schell, and founder and CEO of Words + Pictures, Jeffrey Speed, the former Executive Vice President and CFO of Six Flags, Inc., and Alan Wexler, the Senior Vice President of Innovations and Growth for General Motors.
Interestingly, Meltzer reported Friday that none of the eight Board members who put Stephanie in power were involved in the process of “burying her” behind the scenes, which would indicate that they are firm supporters of Stephanie.
Less than a week after Stephanie took over the reins, her husband, Triple H returned to WWE’s Performance Center to assume his backstage responsibilities, which he had stepped away from following his cardiac event last year.
