Vince McMahon was the CEO of WWE before he had to step down following allegations of sexual misconduct and allegedly having paid $12 million in hush money in a huge scandal. He appeared on SmackDown last night in a John Cena video. He eventually retired from WWE for good and was replaced by his daughter Stephanie McMahon as the CEO of WWE. His son-in-law Triple H is now the Executive Vice President of Talent and Relations as well. Vince McMahon also lied about quitting WWE recently but ended up being real in the end.
Vince McMahon is planning to return to WWE with two former co-Presidents of the country, and he’ll be adding them to the board. McMahon intends to sell WWE.
Lauren Thomas tweeted, “McMahon, who has majority voting power through his ownership of WWE’s Class-B stock, has told the company that he’s electing himself and 2 former co-presidents and directors, Michelle Wilson and George Barrios, to WWE’s board. He will also seek to become executive chairman. $WWE.”
