Rumors have swayed back and forth about WWE being sold. There really hasn’t been too much straight forward news from any sources until now on the topic. Now, we are getting word that many more people within WWE are pushing for the company to be sold. This could end up happening sooner than any of us thought and possibly before Vince McMahon retires…WWE Fired Stars ‘Ugly Brawl’ At Raw Leaks.
Conrad Thompson recently discussed two huge rumors that he heard about WWE selling on Keepin’ it 100 with Konnan. During the show, it was said that at the Raw 25th anniversary show he heard a rumor that WWE wanted to get the stock price as high as possible and then sell. This is also backed by the fact that Reddit are trying to squeeze WWE stock like they did with Gamestop and AMC stock.
A squeeze is when institutions are forced out of the stock by retail traders due to institutions betting that the stock would fail, but the stock price then unexpected sky rockets.
Another rumor that he heard is that Nick Khan has an incentive for WWE to sell.
Conrad also stated that he thinks that Bruce Prichard is in his role because of a potential sale, and that otherwise Triple H would have his spot.
