In New Jersey today following the Wrestlemania 35 press conference, Pwinsider got the following comments from WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon about yesterday’s news of the company opting to remove Fabulous Moolah’s name from the planned all-female Battle Royal at Wrestlemania.
“I love that the WWE audience expressed their opinions, whether they are positive or negative. I think that it is our responsibility to listen to our audience and do our best to give them what they want. Clearly, they did not want to name the Women’s Battle Royal after The Fabulous Moolah. We were really proud that they spoke up and we were really happy to make that change.”
