The Spin

Narrative A

The case represents nothing more than minor accounting errors regarding personal payments made during McMahon's tenure in WWE, with much of the speculation being misguided and misleading. The resolution closes a three-year investigation by various governmental agencies, allowing for closure.

Variety

Narrative B

McMahon acted as if rules did not apply to him. There was clearly a pattern of abuse during the wrestling mogul's tenure in the sports entertainment industry. WWE must confront its past and, for the rest of its existence, ensure that the toxic culture that McMahon created never returns again.
