Stephanie McMahon's announced hiatus from WWE has surprised fans and talent alike. As confirmed by Vince McMahon's daughter, she will take a leave of absence to focus on her family.

The unforeseen news has also given rise to rumors about Triple H's status, and Dave Meltzer provided a timely update on this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The Cerebral Assassin has reportedly returned to the WWE office and resumed his full-time duties.

It was revealed that Stephanie McMahon took up additional responsibilities in recent months as her husband was dealing with serious health issues. While Triple H is seemingly back to work, his wife has decided that it's the right time for a well-deserved break.

"It was obviously a tough year with Paul Levesque being out for so long, and she had to pick up a lot of his responsibilities and obviously had to deal from a family standpoint with his health issues. Levesque is back in the office full-time now," reported Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
