The Vince McMahon sexual misconduct story doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon and will reportedly feature more news.

In an interview with Busted Open Radio, Joe Palazzolo and Ted Mann, the Wall Street Journal reporters who broke the McMahon story in June revealed that the story wasn’t done yet and that they were still continuing to report.

“I think it’s probably not done yet,” Palazzolo said. “And we’re continuing to report. I can just say that we don’t know about another $7.5 million NDA. If you’re asking if there’s something bigger than $7.5 million, no. That’s not something we have in our back pocket. We sort of left it all on the field on this story. There are a couple of things that we didn’t know that we’re still reporting. And sometimes, in similar scandals elsewhere, there are people who have something to share who become a little bit more emboldened to talk about it when some of the first coverage has happened. We’re still working to figure out if there are such people out there.”

Last week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Vince McMahon paid out a grand total of over $12 million dollars in hush money payments to four women he allegedly had affairs with throughout the last 16 years. Prior to that, the publication reported that the WWE Board of Directors were investigating McMahon for a $3 million hush money payment made to a former WWE employee with whom he allegedly had an affair with.

The allegations caused Vince McMahon to “step aside” as WWE CEO. Stephanie McMahon is serving in that role right now, but on an interim basis.

The more this is drip fed out there in this way, the more it feels like something orchestrated intentionally by members of the board to remove Vince McMahon.

These are high level leaks that are coming out and they’re being drip fed into the public forum.

Is Nick Khan or some other shadow dweller pulling strings?

Is Nick Khan or some other shadow dweller pulling strings?

Yup. There is a clearly an high-level internal leak putting stuff out in a controlled manner. The only question is whether the strings are being pulled by Khan, Hunter/Steph, or someone else.

As ti to who that someone else might be, the only two people I think would be sneaky enough to up with a plan like this are Bruce and Heyman (Heyman isn't on the board, but he's the kind of guy who in sure knows stuff he's not supposed to).

Power was slowly transferring to Khan anyway, so it’s only if he wanted to speed it up that he would do this, but makes little sense.

Stephanie steps away from the company and then all of a sudden a few weeks later is “needed” more than ever and in a higher position than ever, and her first act was Interim Chairperson is to sign the biggest star available to them in Logan Paul and Hunter chooses then to come back in to be part of the photo op? Could be that Steph/Hunter chose this violence, but I don’t see it.

I’m convinced it’s a leak, but I don’t think Khan or Steph are behind it, too far fetched.

You're missing the fact that between Steph leaving the company and her being needed to come back, the company put out an awkward press release saying that they were going to find someone to do her job better.

I did indeed miss that fact and press release.

That changes things.

There was also some reporting (maily from Keller) that Steph did actually leave because she was upset at Vince over something, although the infidelity supposedly wasn't it... so there is another potential motive out there, be it this sort of thing, or just a major personal issue.

To be fair, if you look at the comments Vince made on the very public Pat McAfee show recently where he blatantly said that he'd expected more from his kids and for them to be better than they have been. That's pretty damning.
