Reported update on the 'all hands on deck' meeting held by WWE after Vince McMahon's retirement announcement

WWE told employees that there will be an "all hands on deck" virtual meeting tonight following Vince McMahon's retirement.

The promotion is currently in Boston for tonight's edition of SmackDown. Brock Lesnar has reportedly left the venue ahead of the show following the retirement of Vince McMahon. Lesnar is scheduled to face Roman Reigns in a Last Man Standing match in the main event of SummerSlam.

In an update from Fightful Select, the meeting today wasn't as "all hands on deck" as originally portrayed. Multiple RAW talents were not required to attend and it was a quick goodbye to those that were there. The message received by the staff is that Vince McMahon is retiring but he wants them to continue to wave the flag of the promotion.

Fightful is also reporting that they've asked several in the company and nobody has been told who is running the creative end of things for RAW and SmackDown. There are also rumors that Kevin Dunn is expected to leave next, even though he is the point of contact for the show tonight with Bruce Prichard.

Fightful added that the same talent speculated that John Laurinaitis would be ousted and that wound up being the case.
