Never thought I'd see the day. Vinnie Mac is stepping down as CEO amid scandle, and Stephanie is taking over in the interim. I always hoped it would be triple H and he was allowed to run the main roster like he did NXT. This is probably a good thing for the product, but its sad to see someone go that has grown the business as much as he did. Obviously when your daughter takes over for you, he will still be involved I would imagine though.

He will be on Smackdown tonight which will be must see TV.

I'm pretty sure he's only stepping down from the business side and will still control the wrestling product. So what you see on TV won't change at all.

I stand corrected, i did read an article this morning to that affect. I hardly see this as a punishment then, minus the shame associated with it.

I don't think there's any "punishment" involved here as they're only investigating whether or not he used corporate funds for hush money. If it's proved he didn't he may not get back his CEO job but I think it's certain he won't be giving up or be removed from any creative control.

I have noticed NXT get much more risqué since is got its facelift, will be interesting to see if RAW follows suit as AEW continues to  increase their market share.

Looks like Vince is back in charge of WWE. That retirement didn't last long.
