The return of Vince McMahon
American professional wrestling organization WWE has reportedly sold to the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia on Wednesday morning, according to reports.
After Stephanie McMahon announced her retirement from the company and the return of her father Vince McMahon as chairman of the board, reports began to circulate.
According to the Wall Street Journal, McMahon, who continues to own the majority of WWE stock, announced Thursday that he is “voting himself and two previous co-presidents and directors, Michelle Wilson and George Barrios, to the board.” Three of the current directors will reportedly have to resign to make way.
McMahon, 77, announced his retirement in the summer of 2022 amid allegations of sexual misconduct. He is also accused of using his funds to pay $19.6 million in nondisclosure agreement fees while failing to list those expenses as personal expenses.
Why is WWE being sold by Vince Mcmahon?
McMahon has tried to return before, but the board rejected those efforts. This time is different.

He also said that “my return will allow WWE, as well as all parties to the deal, to engage in these processes knowing that they will have the support of the majority shareholder.”
