Among all of the news surrounding the sale of WWE, a report came out that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon were against the sale. A new report indicates that might not be the case.

The original story of opposition to the sale came from Axios. Considering Stephanie’s abrupt resignation at the time, many saw this as proof that she and Hunter weren’t on board with the sale. On today’s edition of the Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer says that Axios’ story is wrong.

According to a source close to both Stephanie and Hunter, the two were not opposed to the idea of selling the company. This source informed Meltzer, “Levesque and Steph were not against selling. They were open to all possibilities. In many ways, the company was guaranteed to be sold in some fashion in the fact that Vince McMahon’s shares had to be addressed. In that regard, some level of a sale was guaranteed.”

Meltzer went on to add that Stephanie and Hunter were aware that Vince’s controlling shares would have to be offloaded in some way in the event of a sale. Vince returned to facilitate a potential sale of the company, along with negotiation of new media rights.
