Dutch Mantell on Wrestling Shoot Interviews

In the interview, Dutch was asked about his opinion on the recent leave of absence of Stephanie McMahon. Mantell replied, “This is what I think is happening, I think, you’ve seen Triple H. He’s back to work now right? But he doesn’t have any of the power that he had before, correct?…. I don’t think he does and Stephanie doesn’t have the power…”

“So what I think is we are seeing the early stages of the McMahon exit out of WWE as a hands-on part of it. And I think in five years, maybe the McMahon will put their stocks up for sale, or not.”

“But I think in five years Vince will be kind of out, Triple H will maybe on the fringes and I think Stephanie will be out. That’s what it looks like to me. This new guy, [Nick] Khan, is running it almost like his bottom line… But I think the exit, and I’m not basing this on anything about the McMahons, it’s just a feeling I have that we’re probably seeing the early stages of the McMahon withdrawal from WWE”

Stephanie McMahon’s leave of absence from WWE

On May 20, 2022, Stephanie McMahon announced that she will take a leave of absence from her duties as the Chief Brand Officer of WWE. Not only was she a part of the company since 2000, but had also become a corporate figure. Her shift to the backstage also meant involvement in the business side of WWE.

Moreover, Shane McMahon, the son of Vince McMahon, was released earlier this year. This piece of information also led to many speculations around the McMahons and the state of WWE in the future.
