After being placed on leave amid Vince McMahon’s hush money scandal, John Laurinaitis is officially gone from WWE.
PWInsider reported Monday that Laurinaitis was quietly let go from WWE at some point “within the last week or so.” The 60-year-old Laurinaitis was WWE’s head of talent relations until being put on administrative leave in June.
In June, the Wall Street Journal reported that the WWE board of directors was investigating McMahon and Laurinaitis over a “secret” $3 million settlement that McMahon had agreed to pay a former WWE paralegal whom he allegedly had an affair with. The report included an allegation that McMahon had given the paralegal to Laurinaitis “like a toy.”
