Linda McMahon reacts to husband Vince McMahon's WWE retirement

Linda McMahon says husband Vince McMahon will decide how to spend his free time, while attending the American First Policy Institute Summit in Washington, D.C.

Last week, the news broke that wrestling mogul Vince McMahon was retiring from WWE after already stepping down as the company's CEO.

The resigning and retirement came amid allegations of McMahon, 76, paying over $12 million in hush money over the past 16 years to "suppress allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity."

McMahon did not mention his allegations in his retirement statement, but rather, simply said "it's time" for him to retire.

His wife, Linda, was spotted at the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) Summit in Atlanta, and was lighthearted about the retirement, despite the serious nature in which it came about.

She ignored other questions about the retirement and allegations.
