Stephanie McMahon\'s decision to take a leave of absence from WWE surprised not only the fans but people within the organization as well.
PWinsider provided some updates on the situation and revealed the potential reason as well as the internal reaction to this news.
According to the site, the word-making round is that McMahon has decided to take this break to focus on her family. The belief is that she will return somewhere down the line but there is no timetable for it.
This likely means that someone else will take over her duties as the Chief Brand Officer of WWE in the meantime. Though there is no word on who that may be.
Update: Brandon Thurston is now reporting that WWE president Nick Khan will be taking over most of McMahon\'s duties:
