One of the biggest stories to break from the past few days has been the ouster of George Barrios and Michelle Wilson from WWE. The two were long-time WWE executives and their leave from the company led to shock among the WWE Universe and also resulted in a massive plunge of the WWE stock price.

SportsKeeda's Tom Colohue spoke about former WWE Champion and Chairman Vince McMahon's backstage encounters with the two men and revealed that many of these encounters had been 'negative'.

I have heard from a few different people inside the head office that there have been a number of altercations and encounters that have been negative. They wouldn’t go into too much detail, but negative encounters is a phrase that they use between Barrios, Wilson and Vince McMahon.

Even though this is bit of a surprise moment and definitely a surprise announcement, the idea it is that I’m getting is that there have been a number of meetings that have gone badly, or a number of, I will use the phrase again - negative encounters, that have created a negative atmosphere between Vince McMahon, George Barrios, and Michelle Wilson.
