The company itself has yet to comment on the election of WWE Hall of Famer Donald J. Trump to the job of President of the United States of America, nor have current officers and management of WWE like Vince McMahon, Paul “Triple H” Levesque or Stephanie McMahon-Levesque said anything. It will be interesting to see if that changes, as significant portions of their domestic and international customer base aren’t thrilled with the final outcome of a contentious vote.
Several people who have worked for the company in a variety of roles have spoken out on social media since the race was called in Trump’s favor early this morning (Nov. 9, 2016):
What a night! Thrilled to congratulate my friend, President-Elect Donald Trump on a hard-fought campaign and victory. @realDonaldTrump pic.twitter.com/FCpT1sPphR

If you like it, great. If you don't, make the best of it, and you get to try again in 4 years. We still live in a great country.#PMA

Once upon a time, I was on welfare. And I worked my ass off to get where I'm at. Period. No president helped me. You're no different. #PMA

Hey America, either candidate was going to be controversial. I voted for Bloomberg-but, can we all get along now and quit the name calling?

"How did the media get it so wrong?"
Because they have been lying to you every step of the way.
I believe in love and respect. I believe in fairness, equality and humanity above all. That is what I will teach my daughters. Goodnight.

Ironic. I've not seen one tweet from a gloating Trump supporter today but I've seen hundreds of hateful, & obscene ones from Hillary's side.

Horrible nightmare last night. It was so weird, I was in Germany but the U.S. was Germany now? But from like, 80 years ago? So weird? Scary.

You now have an obligation to all Americans, no matter their race, gender or SO, to be a better man. Make it happen.
i don't think those voting for trump hate that a woman would be president, I think it's anti-establishment.

right place/wrong time
for both
Sure, I'm heartbroken over the US election and fear for the future of Mankind...but, that's looking at the glass half-empty. Let's look at the glass half-full!
