Stephanie McMahon announced via social media that she will be taking a leave of absence from the majority of her WWE duties starting Friday, May 20. “WWE is a lifelong legacy for me and I look forward to returning to the company that I love after taking this time to focus on my family,” McMahon wrote in a statement that can be read in full below.
Powell’s POV: While there may end up being more to the story, here’s wishing Stephanie the best. Her family has been through a lot with husband Paul Levesque’s health issues.
As of tomorrow, I am taking a leave of absence from the majority of my responsibilities at WWE. WWE is a lifelong legacy for me and I look forward to returning to the company that I love after taking this time to focus on my family.

I legitimately hope all is well. Haters are going to hate, but she’s given her all for a very long time in order for the company to thrive. I’m always happy to see successful people take a pause to put their family ahead of business.
