Alongside WWE’s Head of Creative, the WWE Universe asserted that The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns had also an enormous hand in the company making loads of profits. Reigns had a fantastic Bloodline story in the past year and his feud with Sami Zayn drew many more audiences to the wrestling promotion.

Sources said that MR. McMahon wanted to return to his old position and become the creative head of WWE, but he had to settle for a seat on the board of directors. When The Evil Genius entered the board of directors, he was unanimously re-elected as Executive Chair of WWE.
What came as a shock for the WWE Universe was when, out of the blue, Stephanie McMahon resigned from the company, making Nick Khan the sole CEO of WWE.
