- I’m told the news of Samantha Irvin leaving the company has genuinely shocked a lot of people backstage at RAW in Philly this afternoon.

- According to WWE Corporate, Vince McMahon has voluntarily stepped back from his responsibilities as CEO & Chairman of the Board until the conclusion of the investigation. Stephanie McMahon will serve as interim CEO and interim Chairwoman. Wow.
