A couple of weeks after stepping away from WWE, Stephanie McMahon is still the subject of headlines.

A Business Insider report had indicated that Vince McMahon had pushed Stephanie McMahon out, however we can confirm that those that were involved with WWE ahead of the Nick Khan regime were letting people know that wasn't the case even before the news dropped. However, some hires in the new regime were quick to say that there were performance issues and things to improve upon, but not along the lines that it was something that caused the end of her job. Sources from both regimes say that the decision was hers.

To expand on that, another situation that was clarified was Business Insider saying that WWE Head of Global Sales & Partnerships Claudine Lilien was "leaving WWE." We were able to confirm that she was let go, and wasn't looked upon as a great hire by McMahon. We were told there were plenty of areas of improvement in that department such as selling sponsors on a much more broad, long-term basis instead of a single show basis.

Until last week, Stephanie McMahon was still included and receiving production emails. They started to not include her beginning with Monday's episode of WWE Raw. Based on those we talked to, they chalked that up to "housekeeping" and updating.
