Stephanie Says ‘WWE Is Non-Partisan’
Deadline has released an article looking at Triple H and Stephanie McMahon’s comments regarding why Donald Trump is not included in WWE sizzle reels and celebrity packages.
The comments come from their appearance at the Television Critics Association’s WWE Panel that took place in LA on Tuesday.
You can read Deadline’s full article HERE, we have included an excerpt below:
“WWE executive Vice President Paul “Triple H” Levesque shot back that the President of the United States is one of a lot of “celebrities” who did not make the clip, also naming former President Barack Obama and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
“To pick one is trying to get to a destination you’re trying to get to,” he scoffed.
“WWE is non partisan,” jumped in McMahon’s daughter Stephanie McMahon, who is WWE’s Chief Brand Officer. “We are the greatest combination of every culture, gender, socio economic background” etc. she boasted.
The reporter noted Stephanie McMahon also is the daughter of former World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon, who Trump named to head his Small Business Administration when he was elected POTUS.
“Does that make you think you should not put him in your reel?” the reporter asked.
“We made a strategic decision to not put forth any type of partisan politics at all,” she said, calling it a “decision we made in our programming, not just in our sizzle.”
