I remember that playing out in real time and some WWE fans on a forum I was part of at the time were going through the wringer as the actual details started coming out.
WWE was even showing a tribute show at the time since it was still quite soon after Eddie Guerrero had died when it was revealed to be a murder-suicide rather than just suicide. That segment got pulled fast and all of Benoit's appearances scrubbed from the WWE archives hard.

I saw that tribute show live, since I was a WWE fan at the time.
If I recall, the news broke DURING THE LIVE BROADCAST that Benoit himself was the killer.
The next day, before ECW on Sci-Fi, Vince McMahon had to record a cold open apologizing for that tribute show.
