Vince McMahon’s unexpected return to WWE as a member of the Board of Directors has sent shockwaves throughout the professional wrestling world. Fear turned to reality as McMahon became the Chairman of the Board of Directors following Stephanie McMahon’s resignation as co-CEO, leaving fans and wrestlers alike wondering what the future holds for the company. The likelihood that WWE would be sold to Saudi Arabia, as previously rumored, seems increasingly probable.
At the recent NXT tapings, rumors of the deal spread like wildfire, sending a sense of unease among the talent. According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, the news was widespread and sparked concerns about job security and the uncertain future of the company. Meltzer noted that everyone at the tapings heard the rumors and was anxious about what lay ahead.
While the deal is reportedly agreed upon in principle, it is not yet finalized. However, Vince McMahon’s eagerness to close the deal quickly suggests that WWE fans may need to adjust to the possibility of the company being owned by Saudi Arabia.
