Stephanie McMahon announced last Thursday that she would be temporarily stepping away from her executive roles at WWE effective immediately
Not much has been confirmed since then about why she was making this decision, though there has been plenty of speculation.
As for her executive role as the company's Chief Brand Officer, it was reported shortly after her announcement that WWE president Nick Khan would be stepping in during her absence.
It is noted that WWE has been telling its employees internally that McMahon's decision was due to her wanting to spend more time with her family after a rough year, which included Triple H's near-fatal cardiac event.
PWInsider's Mike Johnson followed that up on Monday, saying that WWE is expected to make a new hire to oversee the company's brand management.
While WWE President Nick Khan is working with several of WWE's partners in McMahon's absence. the belief is that eventually, the company will bring someone in to handle Brand Management on an Executive level full-time
