Michelle Beadle's hiatus from WWE

Michelle Beadle's hiatus from WWE is reportedly over after she recently received a phone call from Vince McMahon. The ESPN anchor got a call in which Vince was understanding about why she made the decision to stop watching.

Beadle stopped watches boycotting WWE last year due to Triple H‘s friendship with Floyd Mayweather.

She was invited to last night's Raw and had the following photo taken with Stephanie McMahon and Triple H.

WWE Employment At All-Time High

WWE employment is at an all-time high with 840 employees, according to The Stamford Advocate. In 2015, the company saw an 11% increase in employees, which amounts to eighty new staff due to expanding the WWE Network. WWE doesn’t include their performers in the official employee list as they are paid as independent contractors.
