Vince McMahon, the former WWE chief executive, is retiring from the company, he said in a statement on Friday. The news follows an investigation into McMahon paying millions of dollars in hush money to cover up alleged infidelity and misconduct with multiple women.

"As I approach 77 years old, I feel it's time for me to retire as Chairman and CEO of WWE," McMahon said.

A new report from the Journal came out earlier this month that said McMahon paid more than $12 million to four women, including the one from the prior report, to cover up "allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity." McMahon has said previously he is cooperating with investigators. His lawyer told the Journal that "WWE did not pay any monies" to the former employee "on her departure."McMahon has been an major part of the WWE for decades, both behind the scenes and in the ring.

It is sad that In a year or two triple H will become CEO. He’s been working towards that goal for 20 yrs and eventually he’s gonna get it because there’s no one else

He’s still going to be involved, wrestling is such a sneaky business. You can get away with anything

Anyone who accuses someone of sexual assault and made a deal in exchange for money (shameful) and agreed in secret not to speak on it at all if they end up speaking about it they should go to jail because they have ulterior motive to reap off someone by lying! Sexual acc is busin

Maybe some good storylines going forward.

All that money and he doesn't have a hit man?

Will need to know his vaccination status before making any conclusions.
