Trump noted that McMahon had helped the WWE grow from a 13-person operation to a publicly traded global enterprise with more than 800 employees worldwide.
After the announcement was made, some of Linda’s family and former WWE co-workers took to Twitter with their reactions.
Here comes the money!
So proud of my Mom @Linda_McMahon for her appointment to lead the SBA. #GoMom

Jim Ross spent many years as the McMahon’s right hand.
Great selection by @realDonaldTrump as LEM was a great boss for over 20+ years to me. @WWE https://t.co/b6zGvTB1lE

This is the most excited JBL has sounded commentating on anything wrestling related in years.
Great choice by @realDonaldTrump by picking @Linda_McMahon to help small business. https://t.co/uqiB0Yjqso

Tommy Dreamer’s reaction was predictably extreme!
Everybody knows I hate politics but @Linda_McMahon is a great person.

She will make any job appointed to her better.
Congratulations
Vince should probably start by apologizing for trying to hit her over the head with a trashcan at Wrestlemania 17, but this was also nice.
Congrats @Linda_McMahon on your nomination. I’m very proud and know you’ll do an excellent job. #SBA

We all know Stephanie will probably be President, one day, right?
Congratulations Mom, I am so proud of you! President-Elect @realDonaldTrump made an excellent choice for the head of @SBAgov! https://t.co/2wUPw3ctWl

Does Triple H mean Linda will bring in Hulk Hogan to run wild on big business tax loopholes?
Congrats to @Linda_McMahon on being chosen to lead the #SBA! I know she’ll provide the same insight and dedication that helped build @WWE.

Regardless of how the WWE feels about the nomination, this is likely the first time most wrestling fans will have ever been aware of who was in charge of the SBA. That has to count for something. I guess.
Honored to be appointed by President-Elect @realDonaldTrump to serve as head of @SBAgov advocating for our small businesses & entrepreneurs!
