A new report has surfaced surrounding the resignation of Vince McMahon.

According to PWInsider, it was Slim Jim pulling out of the sponsorship deal which had a major impact in McMahon being compelled to walk away:

“McMahon likely would have dug in and refused to walk away from his TKO Board of Directors Executive Chairman position, but once Slim Jim, who holds the largest sponsorship deal in WWE history, was willing to cut their losses and "pause" their WWE relationship, it was just a matter of time before other advertisers and sponsors followed suit, and that was it for McMahon….”

“As one source noted on Friday, once true money was in real danger of being lost, "it was just a matter of time" but that the timetable for McMahon resigning happened faster than anyone truly expected.”

Additionally, PWInsider addressed the rumours that Stephanie McMahon could be returning to the company, and this is what they had to say:

“There were some in the company on Friday evening hoping that Vince's exit opens the door for Stephanie McMahon to return, although others we spoke to cautioned that it's not the same company that existed (internally) before Endeavor took over ownership so how she might potentially fit back in would not be immediately known - nor would it be known if she's even be interested in returning at this point.   WWE President Nick Khan has always publicly stated the company would love to have Stephanie back and among the employees, she's just much missed and respected - but post-sale, it's a different world there.”
