Vince McMahon recently confirmed that he would be retiring from WWE as CEO, and now an internal memo confirming his leaving has been leaked.
The following comes courtesy of a user of Reddit: ‘To all WWE Superstars: as I approach 77 years old (OMG am I really that old?), I feel it’s time for me to retire” the now former CEO began.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed sharing my passion, wisdom, and love of the business with you. No longer will you see the smiling, docile, level-headed, calm presence at Gorilla every week.
‘Your dedication to WWE will ensure that our company will continue to grow and prosper. Our organization is nothing without you. You are WWE’s only natural resource, chosen to perform in front of a global audience” McMahon added.

‘You are all WWE Global Ambassadors. Carry the WWE flag wherever you go. Wave it high and proud. And bust your ass to be all you can be as a person and as a performer.
‘One other thing-I won’t be with you, but I’ll be watching. Remember to keep your hands up, grab a hold, and sell. Btw, SmackDown airs live tonight at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central on FOX – Vince.”
