Former WWE Champion Says Stephanie McMahon Will ‘Definitely Be Missed’

WWE

Former WWE Champion Kofi Kingston has addressed former Chairwoman and co-CEO Stephanie McMahon’s WWE departure.

On January 10, Stephanie shared a public statement announcing her resignation from her roles in WWE.

Speaking with Shakiel Mahjouri for SHAK Wrestling, Kofi Kingston noted that Stephanie did so much for the company, noting that her presence will be missed.

Happy that Stephanie is able to retire, Kingston said:

“I’ve been so lucky to have gotten to know Stephanie very well over the past 15 years, and her passion for the industry is just undeniable.

“Obviously it’s a family business, but just listening to her talk, I’m even getting goosebumps thinking about it right now, but going to different events and listening to her talk about the impacts that we’ve made as a company and just her experience going from a youth all the way to an adult, WWE is her life.

“So she means a lot. She does so much for the company, whether a lot of it gets seen or not. She is part of the lifeblood that allowed the WWE to exist.

“So her presence will definitely be missed, for sure, but she’s earned the right to retire and enjoy her family life, and I’m happy for her in that sense.”

There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding WWE’s future, with the company currently in talks with several parties regarding a potential sale.

Addressing the uncertainty, Kingston said:

“We’ll see kinda where things go, but like I said before, you don’t know what’s going to happen in WWE long-term. So our role as Superstars remains constant.

“We’re gonna go out and put on the best matches possible, and tell stories in the ring, and give people incredible memories, and give them reason to come back and invest in our product.

“That’s what we do, regardless of what’s going on around us, we go out there and we put on a great show. So I’m looking forward to being able to continue to go out and do there on the grandest stage of then all.”
