- In an interview with SHAK Wrestling, Kofi Kingston Asked about Stephanie McMahon Resignation from WWE:
- I have been very fortunate to have known Stephanie so well over the past 15 years and her passion for the industry is undeniable. I mean, it’s obviously the family business, but just listening to her talk — I even get goosebumps thinking about it now, but I go to different events and hear her talk about the impacts we’ve had as a company and just her experience transitioning from youth into adulthood. . WWE is her life. So she means a lot. She does a lot for the company, whether much of it is seen or not. She is part of the lifeblood that allows WWE to exist, so her presence will definitely be sorely missed. But I think she’s earned the right to retire and enjoy her family life, and I’m happy for her in that sense.
- So we’ll kind of see where things go, but like I said before, you don’t know what’s going to happen in WWE long-term, so our role as superstars remains constant. We’re going to go out and put together the best possible matches and tell stories in the ring and give people incredible memories and give them a reason to come back and invest in our product – that’s what we do, no matter what’s going on around us, we go out there and put on a great show. So I’m looking forward to being able to continue to go out and do it on the greatest stage of them all.
- Kingston spoke about the morale in the WWE locker room with the false rumors circulating this week that WWE has been sold to Saudi Arabia:
- I think we all have the same mindset: whatever happens outside of the company will happen. We really have no idea what’s going to happen, but again our role remains the same – just go out there and make great matches. That’s the one thing, no matter who’s in charge or whoever owns this or that, you know what I mean, that’s what we’re going to do. This is what we will always do. So that’s the most important thing, I think. The mentality for us is just kind of seeing, like I said, man-laser, and continuing to make great games. So that’s what we’ll do.
- Dallas Morning News Gunther asked about the situation With Saudi rumors: means rumors are rumors. And at the end of the day, I’m not the CEO. I’m a wrestler. So, I focus on what I’m doing in the ring and I leave the work to the people doing business.”
- Gunter discussed Stephanie McMahon’s departure from WWE: “To be fair, I’ve only had very brief interactions with her. She’s always been so sweet and so lovely. And yes, I’m happy for her because now she’ll be able to take time off and enjoy time with her family. And yes, I think you should be happy for anyone in a position to do that. All the best to her.”
