Stephanie McMahon stunned the wrestling world last night by announcing she would be stepping down as WWE co-CEO. Many within the business, including Jim Cornette, shared their thoughts on the situation.
In a shocking start to 2023, Stephanie's father Vince McMahon has returned to the company's board as its Executive Chairman as he looks to begin the sale of World Wrestling Entertainment. This decision, many believe, may have been the catalyst for Stephanie choosing to leave.
Speaking on his Drive Thru podcast, Jim Cornette reacted to the former WWE CEO's resignation statement after announcing her departure from the company.
"'I’ve decided now to, as a buyer, leave, go back to spending more time with my family and also f*ck you I quit!!'. They could of at least had her say ‘I’m gonna continue my leave and spend more time with my children’ and let her quit next week but no." From 7:25 to 7:48.
