Per WWE corporate site
Vince McMahon today released the following statement: “As I approach 77 years old, I feel it’s time for me to retire as Chairman and CEO of WWE. Throughout the years, it’s been a privilege to help WWE bring you joy, inspire you, thrill you, surprise you, and always entertain you. I would like to thank my family for mightily contributing to our success, and I would also like to thank all of our past and present Superstars and employees for their dedication and passion for our brand. Most importantly, I would like to thank our fans for allowing us into your homes every week and being your choice of entertainment. I hold the deepest appreciation and admiration for our generations of fans all over the world who have liked, currently like, and sometimes even love our form of Sports Entertainment. “Our global audience can take comfort in knowing WWE will continue to entertain you with the same fervor, dedication, and passion as always. I am extremely confident in the continued success of WWE, and I leave our company in the capable hands of an extraordinary group of Superstars, employees, and executives – in particular, both Chairwoman and Co-CEO Stephanie McMahon and Co-CEO Nick Khan. As the majority shareholder, I will continue to support WWE in any way I can. My personal thanks to our community and business partners, shareholders, and Board of Directors for their guidance and support through the years. Then. Now. Forever. Together.” |

Waiting for Vince to change his name to just "McMahon" so no one can Google and find out about the allegations.

Bray Wyatt will be on Smackdown later walking to the ring with Vince’s head as a lantern.

Not good for the stock or the product. You now have non carnies running all of wrestling. This mightbe the moment wrestling dies. In 15 years looking back on this might be it.

Really happy for Stephanie McMahon.
Hope order of business #1 is Kevin Dunn 'moving on' next. I also think many ideas in general Vince would say 'no' to Steph would say 'yes'....she's more fan cognizant than her father ever was. |

They’re not fans of Kevin Dunn. It would not surprise me to see him offered a nice severance package and sent off into the sunset with Michael Cole or someone else taking over.

There's still more that the WSJ haven't printed yet, and more they'll probably never be able to print.
Vince is getting ahead of something, and it must be a lot bigger than what we already know. |

His profile is too high. If he was more on the outskirts like he was when the company was private and even its early days of public, it'd have been swept under the rug like the rest of them.

Lots of interesting things coming out of this.
Brock probably done for good. Smackdown should see instant change. There is no one to rip up storylines 30 minutes before showtime. Tonight and RAW just became must see. Nerfect, I know you are gonna say this won't change the product, but if he is truly gone, then this will be the make or break for the company. HHH and Stephanie in charge, I do believe will fully change the game. |

If Brock does leave, this creates a huge opening for someone to offer him big dollars to go somewhere and make a bit of a splash. I can see Vince calling Brock and smoothing things over though. He wants his stock to remain high.
The idea of Vince starting his own promotion with Brock as his major attraction out the gate is surreal though. |

No way Brock shows up somewhere else. His contract will be frozen so damn fast if he bailed.
