Stephanie McMahon Named WWE Interim CEO After Vince McMahon Resigns

John Laurinaitis also reportedly had an affair with the woman and has since been placed on administrative leave in light of the allegations.
The WWE Board of Directors has launched an internal investigation into the matter and Vince has resigned for the time being. Stephanie was named WWE’s interim CEO on June 17. She said that she is honored to take on the role and wants WWE to continue to entertain billions of fans around the world.
