As we've been reporting, WWE is very high on Renee Young. There has even been recent talk of Young anchoring the RAW broadcast booth someday, which shows just how impressed WWE brass is with her progression. One of Young's biggest supporters in the company is Stephanie McMahon, who is encouraging more women to have vital roles within the male dominated organization.

There will be a special Takeover 2 preview episode of WWE NXT next Thursday afternoon at 4pm EST on the WWE Network. There will also be a live 30-minute Takeover Kickoff pre-show before the event begins. The synopsis for the preview episode reads like this: "Renee Young hosts this special preview of NXT Takeover: Fatal 4-Way with exclusive interviews."

We noted a few weeks ago, via The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, that WWE's VP of Venue Merchandising & Operations Alan Rebhun was let go after WrestleMania XXX due to major concessions problems at the event in New Orleans, including a large sum of money that went missing at the end of the weekend ... The company Rebhun hired to do concessions at WrestleMania XXX was Alan Fey's Gameday. Fey was previously responsible for the bankruptcy of another similar company named XP Events back in 2010. We noted that the concessions contract was signed off on by "WWE officials higher than Rebhun" but he kept the Fey connection a secret beforehand. When WWE executive Rich Hering and WWE's legal team found out about this, they looked for the signed concessions contract and found that Rebhun had written & signed a contract with Fey without WWE's knowledge or without the contract being written by WWE legal, which is against company protocol ... Also, when people in WWE under Rebhun ran credit checks on Gameday, the results of those checks were squashed until WWE's legal team ran their own checks. Regarding a deposit being short $5,000, Hering demanded that all money earned at each WrestleMania XXX week event be immediately collected by company officials, namely Rebhun. This demand came after a heated argument between Rebhun and Hering. Usually trusted vending companies pay WWE within 21 days of an event but because of the situation, Hering wanted it collected immediately. Rebhun skipped the first night that he was supposed to collect the money and left the task to an inexperienced office accounting employee. When Fey gave the accounting employee the money, the accountant gave Fey a receipt for said amount of cash. However, when the money was officially counted it was $5,000 less than what Fey said was there. Because Fey had a receipt for what was "supposed" to be there, he claimed he knew nothing about being short $5,000. Rebhun also hired a company that was a branch of a company called Countrywide. They were the company that took photos of fans in front of green screens and made it appear that they were posing with a WWE Superstar. This company owed WWE around $85,000 before WrestleMania XXX and were roughly 6 months late on payments. This was all covered up by Rebhun. WWE's legal team investigated this matter and found that once again Rebhun wrote a contract without their knowledge.

Actual article was a lot longer and to basically sum it up, the former VP of Merchandise & Operations was covering up a lot of money being missing recently while having deals done without the WWE knowing.
