According to the Fightful Select reports, WWE told employees that there will be an “all hands on deck” virtual meeting tonight following Vince McMahon’s retirement. That meeting wasn’t as “all hands on deck” as originally portrayed. Several Raw talents were not required to attend and it was a quick goodbye to those that were there.
The message received by the staff is that Vince McMahon is retiring but he wants them to continue to wave the flag of the promotion. It is also reported that they’ve asked several in the company and nobody has been told who is running the creative end of things for Raw and SmackDown.

There were also some rumors that Kevin Dunn is expected to leave next, even though he is the point of contact for the show tonight with Bruce Prichard. Fightful also added that the same talent speculated that John Laurinaitis would be ousted and that wound up being the case.
