WWE’s Chief Brand Office, Stephanie McMahon, says that there is no one person who can replace her father and current CEO, Vince McMahon.
There will come a day when the elder McMahon will no longer be running the WWE. For many years, fans of the wrestling company speculated that Stephanie McMahon and her husband Paul Levesque would take over the company.
“I don’t think there will ever be a person-to-person replacement for Vince McMahon. He does too much. The landscape would look different however it shakes out,” Stephanie McMahon, who has been both a performer and business exec for WWE for over 20 years and currently serves as the promotion’s chief brand officer, said on the “Bloomberg Business of Sports” podcast Saturday. ‘
“I do think a lot of the institutional knowledge is important, particularly with regards toward the core content. But it’s also surrounding our business with strong, smart executives,” McMahon said. “And that’s exactly what we have. So I do think it’s the marriage of institutional knowledge, the incredible production value, the creation of talent IP and storylines and really strong business executives to help us expand. I think it’s a combination of things.”
Vince McMahon has spent the last 10 years building an executive team that could handle all the business of the WWE. About a year ago, McMahon’s core team left the company forcing McMahon to start over.
Now, you have a great team of executives running WWE and possibly for the future. Nick Kahn is currently the President of WWE and was a key negotiator in WWE’s deal with NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service for the WWE Network. Paul Levesque is heading up WWE’s creative process. Stephanie McMahon is overseeing WWE’s branding initiatives.
Rumors of a possible sale of the WWE have been circling the internet for a while now. NBCUniversal has been rumored to be interested in purchasing WWE.
President Donald Trump is said to be returning to social media in the next few months on his own platform. The news came from Fox New’s Media Buzz when Trump’s senior advisor Jason Miller broke the news.
On Sunday, Miller said “we’re going to see President Trump returning to social media in probably about two or three months here with his own platform.” “This is something that I think will be the hottest ticket in social media. It’s going to be completely redefine the game,” he added.
While Miller and Team Trump haven’t released details, Miller did say that the new platform would “be big.” The belief is that Trump would be able to get millions of new users from the start.
“It’s not just one company that’s approached the president. There have been numerous companies,” Miller said. “I think the president does know what direction that he wants to head here.”
The timeline for the new social media platform and Trump’s return is 2-3 months. Trump has been banned from almost all social media platforms since January due to “risk of violence.” Trump was banned following the January 6 Capitol Riots.

Myles Kennedy releases Grammy worthy title track for upcoming record, ‘The Ides of March’
written by Ruben Jay
Rock Singer Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge, Slash) has released the title track for his up coming solo record, The Ides of March.
The track comes in at 7 minutes and 39 seconds. Kennedy really takes the listener on a sonic ride. You can hear Kennedy’s influences from Led Zeppelin on the record. You have a classic guitar sounding opening and then breaks into more familiar territory for Kennedy with a rock riff. And then, out of nowhere, it feels like a little George Micheal snuck into Kennedy’s listening while he wrote this song.
Honestly, I don’t say this very often, but this song should win a Grammy. The lyrics, the vocals, the music, they are all Grammy worthy. Kennedy grabs your attention and he doesn’t let go at any point in the song. If this song doesn’t win a Grammy next year, then the Grammy’s should be cancelled.
With the song being available right now for pre-saves on the record, Kennedy also released a music video which you can watch below!

Former President Donald Trump has been acquitted in his impeachment trial. The Senate voted 57-43 to acquit the former President.
In order to find Trump guilty of “incitement of a insurrection,” the Impeachment Managers would need a two-thirds majority, or 67 votes. Today’s vote came with all 50 democrats voting to convict with 7 republicans joining them.
Those who joined democrats include Republicans, including Richard Burr of North Carolina, Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Senator Susan Collins of Maine, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska, Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, and Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania.
Now that former President Trump has been acquitted it opens up the lanes for a 2024 run as of now.
