Linda McMahon Picked by Donald Trump to Run Small Business Administration

Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon will be joining President-elect Donald Trump's cabinet as the head of the Small Business Administration.

Here's the official statement announcing McMahon's new position, per BuzzFeed News:

McMahon shared her gratitude toward Trump after the public announcement:

McMahon worked in WWE from 1980 to 2009, holding various positions, including business manager, president and CEO, before resigning to pursue a political career.

She was named to the Connecticut Board of Education in January 2009 and ran for the United States Senate in 2010 and 2012, losing both times.

The McMahon family has a long history with Trump. He had a significant role at WrestleMania 23 in April 2007, helping shave Vince McMahon's head after Bobby Lashley defeated Umaga, and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.
