-- WWE's leadership underwent massive changes over the last several days, with Vince McMahon first stepping down as CEO and Chairman leading to the appointment of Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan as co-CEOs. Paul "HHH" Levesque who was seemingly on the outs just months ago, is now not only leading WWE's Talent Relations department but he will be heading up the creative team as the man with the last say on all things related to storylines and character development.
-- Fightfulselect.com reports that the general consensus backstage is of excitement, with some talents relieved that it won't be Bruce Prichard leading the creative team along with his duties leading Raw and Smackdown as it would have led to awkward situations where talent would be asking him for things like time off (in his interim talent relations role), yet he would be completely in charge of their creative too. Prichard, along with Ed Koskey, are expected to be the main people involved with creative, however, the final say will rest with Triple H as it did with Vince before. The report also notes that sources at the USA Network described the changes as exciting as well.
-- The stock market has reacted well to the news of all the changes as it is up over $5 per share from its close on Friday, which represents an increase of over 7%. It is currently trading at $71.28 per share, just shy of its 52-week high of $73.34.
