Stephanie McMahon has apologised to Mickie James personally, and on behalf of WWE, with the company’s Chief Brand Officer saying she’s “embarrassed” at the treatment of the recently released WWE legend.
Six-time WWE Women’s Champion Mickie James had taken to Twitter to share a photo of her recently returned belongings in a refuse sack, tagging Vince McMahon in an open letter, saying she received her “care package” and tagging “always blessed and grateful” and “women’s wrestling matters” in the statement.
“Dear @VinceMcMahon Im not sure if you’re aware, I did receive my @WWEcare package today. Thank you. #AlwaysBlessedandGrateful#WomensWrestlingMatters”
