The high quantities of stock Triple H and Stephanie McMahon sold led to speculation that they could be looking to leave WWE. Inside The Ropes reported this isn't the case, however, and their sources reportedly said there was nothing unusual about the number of shares McMahon and Levesque sold. It's also believed they sold the stock to raise funds for family reasons, with most of the money being put aside to buy a new home.
