How much will things change? It's the question everyone's asking, and it's too soon to say what the answer is.
Here's Wrestletalk's immediate reaction to it.
LOL!
Anyway, it's hard to tell what, if anything, will change. We can really only speculate at this point.

I really will be wondering if we are seeing the IRL version of the "Higher Power" storyline with Vince's alleged retirement here. Will life imitate art (erroneous phrase intended) once again?
I simply cannot understand how anyone wouldn't be suspicious given all we all know of Vince and the 2022 comments that Vince could run WWE for like the next 20 years.

Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
I don't see any angle with the Vince thing.
He's leaving under a hideous, very unclear cloud.
As I've said before, WWE's partners and business associates would have had severe difficulty doing biz with them considering the allegations against Vince (and the three more that are supposed to be revealed soon). The only way to maintain stability at the company would be for Vince to leave altogether.
I honestly don't know things will go now but there will DEFINITELY be changes. It won't be immediate and they might not be as "drastic" as what people want (Vince McMahon is still the majority shareholder of the company) but some of the core "Vince-isms" in the company won't be a thing with him gone.
EDIT: I also expect that with Stephanie being a co-CEO the disgusting, toxic culture of female exploitation will get gone.

You guys were right. No angle and basically using Steph to cheer lead the crowd.
They still can have time to do a storyline about Stephanie seizing power. Hell they can use this to go to TV 14. Its just there and the attention given this could really help.

Some of that corny humor like giant fierce-looking monsters dancing like idiots (particularly the Indian ones), some of the stupid booking in the ladies section (like the ladies asked to be "more" like Mandy Rose), asking the ladies to "show more skin" even when not necessary.
Not all of this is his stuff directly but it's the kind of stuff that people did to make him "happy".
