After much speculation, Donald Trump officially appointed former WWE CEO Linda McMahon to be the head of the U.S. government’s Small Business Administration.
In a statement to CNN, Trump said that Linda is one of the country’s top female executives and credited her with helping WWE grow from a 13-person company to an 800-employee global enterprise.
The wrestling world reacted to the news this week, with everyone from The McMahons to Curtis Axel taking to Twitter to comment.
