In this eventful year, she was firstly accused of poor sales execution of the company and thus got alleged to go into a hiatus.

Reports indicated that she was not on good terms with the WWE management who were questioning her abilities as an executive. It’s to be noted that she was acting as the Chief Brand Officer in the company. Meanwhile, her own statement and other reports claimed that she had to step aside for personal reasons.
