Vince McMahon, who founded World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and has helmed it for years, has now “voluntarily stepped back” from his role as the firm’s CEO and Chairman amid a probe into his alleged misconduct.

The WWE board of directors made the announcement in a June 17 statement, which also noted that a special committee has been set up to probe alleged misconduct on McMahon’s part, though it did not provide details into the investigation.
