Dave Meltzer discussed the ongoing Stephanie McMahon drama in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter. It was noted that after the company buried her, McMahon’s chances of reappearing sometime are slim. Things could change, but right now there does not appear to be a reasonable path back to the company.

>“WWE has officially started the public burial of Stephanie McMahon on the way out. The company did outright tell a reporter with our web site negative things and basically knocked her job performance a few weeks after she took the leave of absence and they were clearly attempting to get that story out. It ended up with a story in Business Insider where they said that her leaving was part of a corporate role and a business shakeup decided by Vince McMahon, essentially trying to get out that her father fired her and she didn’t leave on her own."

>"That isn’t the case and even contradicts their own story as she was the one who wanted out. From the burial this week, I’d say the odds of her returning have greatly diminished but time does heal wounds and she has been with the company for decades and until a few weeks ago was the public face of the company.”
