As per Stephanie McMahon, releasing a statement isn’t a solution to the problem. They rather need to go forward with needed steps to address things,
“It’s not enough to just put out a statement and say you’re going to do something. We’ve been doing a number of things across multiple sectors [in WWE].
From employees, we’re looking at different types of training, resources, and platforms to encourage our employees to speak and let them know that they are heard and any action items that come out of that.
We’re looking to partner with a few different organizations to make sure we’re able to amplify and use our platforms in the best way possible. Education being primary. We’re not ready to make any formal announcement, but we’re getting further down the pike in something that will be meaningful for the community.”

Apparently, they are working to bring a meaningful change within WWE. They also see education as one of the key things to accomplish the goal where there won’t be any racial issues, at all.
Triple H also addressed the WWE NXT locker room following the NXT TakeOver: In Your House show, this past Wednesday night. This perhaps happened after Shawn Michaels had a heated backstage argument concerning the current Black Lives Matter movement. At this point, it’s unknown if these two situations are related to each other which could be as they occurred on the same night.
Recently, CM Punk blasted AJ Styles for not speaking up about the racial controversy despite being a respected pro-wrestler throughout the world. In response, Styles stated that he doesn’t intend to react to someone whom he doesn’t respect.
