WWE’s Michael Cole has commented on the current regime, following the departure of Vince McMahon.
Vince announced his retirement in July amid an investigation looking into ‘hush pact’ allegations.
Following this, Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan became co-CEOs, and Triple H took over creative as the Chief Content Officer.
Speaking on the Pat McAfee Show, Michael Cole admitted that the past few months have been a ‘great change of scenery’. Discussing the recent changes, Cole said:
“Everything has been great. It’s been a great change of scenery the past couple of months. Things are going wonderfully. Ratings have been good, stories have been great, it’s a different world. I worked under Vince for 25 years and I knew nothing else.
“He’s a second dad in many ways, I grew up in the company. It was a shock when it first happened and we’ve all settled in and realized the show must go on. The show is going on and we’re doing well.”
Pat McAfee is currently off WWE TV while he hosts ESPN’s College GameDay, while Michael Cole and Wade Barrett currently call SmackDown.
An update recently emerged on WWE’s plans for commentary when Pat McAfee returns, which you can read about right here.
