Vince McMahon, longtime leader of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), is stepping back from his duties as Chief Executive Officer, at least temporarily. It’s the result of an ongoing investigation into misconduct across the top levels of management, spurred by reports of a secret $3 million settlement to a former employee with whom he allegedly had an affair.
His daughter, Stephanie McMahon, will take over his role as Interim Chairwoman and CEO.
McMahon, like her father, is no stranger to wrestling fans. She’s maintained an on-screen presence for large parts of the past two decades of WWE programming, often alongside her real-life husband Paul Levesque, better known as 14-time world champion Triple H.
