Kurt Angle shares his thoughts on Stephanie McMahon’s resignation.
Stephanie resigned as the Chairwoman and co-CEO of WWE on January 10, leaving Nick Khan as the sole CEO while the Board of Directors unanimously voted to appoint her father, Vince McMahon, the Executive Chairman. Shortly after these moves were announced, rumors of a potential WWE sale heated up, but reports that a deal had been made were subsequently debunked.
Speaking on The Kurt Angle Show, the WWE Hall of Famer, who worked with Stephanie for several years, commented on her resignation and noted that the decision surprised him. He stated that Stephanie was a great employer, and she reminded him of her father, Vince.
“I’m surprised. I didn’t expect Stephanie to resign,” Angle said. “I’m not sure if she did it because of her father, but she is a classy woman, and she was a great employer. She reminded me a lot of Vince, in many ways. I think that’s why he trusted the company with her. I’m just really surprised that she resigned
Angle also shared his thoughts on the rumors of a WWE sale and stated that Vince, Khan, and Triple H will make the decision that they feel is in the company’s best interest.
“I know a lot of people are concerned about what’s gonna happen with the WWE,” Angle said. “I can tell you this — Vince McMahon, Nick Khan, and Triple H, they will always do what’s best for the company and what’s best for the shareholders. So whatever that is, that’s what decision they’re gonna make.”
