"Don’t like each other" - Stephanie McMahon reportedly has heat with current WWE executive

Following Stephanie McMahon being named as the co-CEO of WWE, many fans were excited about the change. However, a few people aren't pleased.

In the aftermath of Vince McMahon's retirement, many things are expected to change as positions of power in the company shift. With Stephanie and her husband Paul Levesque, also known as Triple H moving up the ladder, some in the company aren't quite keen on working with them.

One of those people has been reported to be the current Executive Producer & Chief, Global Television Distribution, Kevin Dunn.

During an appearance on Busted Open Radio, Brandon Thurston cited sources stating that Stephanie McMahon and Kevin Dunn “don’t like each other.”

It's also been recently reported that Dunn also isn't a major "Triple H guy", which could now prove to be an issue with The Game's heightened influence. With Triple H now spearheading the entire creative process, it might not be the healthiest working environment between them.

Kevin Dunn's overall reputation backstage and with talent has not been the most positive, with many believing he could be leaving soon. Many fans had also started a #FireKevinDunn trend back in October of 2016 when it was reported that he was disparaging superstars.

While the changes that have come after Vince McMahon's retirement might not be an imminent disaster for the current executive producer, they could be paving the way for his exit.

Legendary WWE manager thinks Stephanie McMahon may have pressured Vince McMahon to retire

With controversies and scandals coming Vince McMahon's way recently, the situation looked quite dire for the former CEO. The heat from the investigations into the misconduct allegations and the alleged hush money settlements may have been the cause of McMahon's departure.

But WWE veteran Dutch Mantell seemingly thinks that Stephanie McMahon may have had a hand in the decision.

Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell wondered whether new Co-CEOs Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan pressured Vince into retirement.

"So the question is, was he strongly urged to step aside, or did he resign out of his own volition? I think he was strongly urged to step out of the way," noted Mantell. "I think Stephanie had something to do with that, probably Nick Khan, and as we know, Nick Khan and Stephanie have both filled the spot that Vince had. So, I don't know how that's going to work."

With Stephanie McMahon now in charge of the company alongside Nick Khan and her husband Triple H assuming all creative responsibilities, fans are hoping for more change. But we're sure that no matter what happens next, the influence of Vince McMahon shall endure forever.
