Vince McMahon is stepping down as CEO and chairman of WWE during an investigation into alleged misconduct involving the longtime leader and public face of the organization.

McMahon will continue to oversee WWE’s creative content during the investigation, World Wrestling Entertainment said Friday, and named McMahon’s daughter, Stephanie, as interim CEO and chair.

Vince McMahon will appear on its live show “SmackDown” later Friday, WWE said on Twitter after it announced the changes in leadership.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that WWE was investigating an alleged $3 million payment from McMahon to a departing female employee following a consensual affair.

1. Donald Trump attacking McMahon:

2. Dude's been making coin out of that "business" forever.

He couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation for the wife where $3 million went out of checking, so he robbed his golden cow? And they say grapplers ain't bright.

5. To think that started as a family entertainment business ...

... and ended up becoming a political rat trap with steroids, Donald Trump and sex scandals. They all go together.

And WCW was always much better.

9. I liked the 80s when

there were plenty of choices of what to watch.

They had WWF, Georgia (later Jim Crockett World Championship), AWA, Mid-South (later UWF), World Class, and Mid-Southern(Memphis).

Now it's WWE, which I quit watching when the Attitude Era started and a few indies.

6. LET'S GET READY TO STUMBLE!!!! LOL NT

7. I'm guessing Ginni Thomas wanna-be Linda...

...can now make her exit with half of Vince's money.

I believe Linda still runs TFG's America First Action super PAC.

8. Scam and rip off

Everything the right wing nutz do is, at it's core, a scam, rip off, fraud or theft of one type or another. They scam each other and steal what they can from the rubes and losers who believe fake wrestling.
