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 last year. Many fans believed he was retired forever, but that was not the case. This is because Vince McMahon returned to WWE last week and last night, he became the Executive Chairman of WWE once again after his daughter Stephanie McMahon resigned. Nick Khan is now the sole CEO of WWE while Triple H remains the Creative Head of WWE.
Following Vince McMahon’s return to WWE, there have been rumors that he plans on selling the company to Saudi Arabia. However, those rumors were eventually proven to be untrue.
According to recent reports, Vince McMahon’s return to WWE is primarily to facilitate the potential sale of the company. There are several potential buyers for WWE, including Saudi Arabia. It is speculated that the kingdom, which has been the subject of controversy, may be the only prospective buyer willing to retain McMahon in a position of power.
While speaking on a 2016 episode of Something to Wrestle, Conrad Thompson asked Bruce Prichard about the story that Nailz accused Vince McMahon of sexual assault after the wrestler knocked The Chairman off his chair in an attempt to strangle him during that backstage brawl.
What followed was a rather interesting conversation where Conrad Thompson re-told Nailz’s story, and Bruce Prichard simply said he was not present to witness things. That being said, Earl Hebner was around, and Bruce Prichard did not deny the incident took place.
Conrad: There’s rumor and innuendo out there that Nailz accused McMahon of sexual assault, or whatever the case might be. Give me some.
Bruce:Â Well, they had a big argument. Earl Hebner witnessed the thing through the door because it was heated, and it was loud.
Conrad:Â Wait, wait, wait. There was no wait, wait, stop. Stop. Earl Hebner witnessed it through the door. It was heated and loud. Yeah, I asked if there was a sex incident and you said Earl watch.
Bruce:Â You liked what you liked the way that you liked the way that I phrased all that? See, I saved that for the payoff that no, there was no sexual harassment or touching of any way, shape or form. It was a heated argument with Nailz doing a lot of yelling and screaming and and and then lunged. It vents. Choking him, kind of tumbling over. Tumbling his ass over the kettle in his chair.
Conrad: Allegedly, doesn’t Nailz start screaming when people start to come in the room? He touched my dick or something like that.
Bruce: I have no idea. I wasn’t there for it, so I don’t know. But I don’t know.
Conrad: The way I hear it, when people start coming in the room, he starts screaming ‘He touched my dick, he touched my dick!’ Which is just only in wrestling.
Bruce: Only in wrestling folks, but Goddamn, only in the WWF. Who knows what we’ll talk about Nailz again.
