WWE has been sold to UFC’s parent company, Endeavor. In a statement, Endeavor announced a “definitive agreement” that will see WWE come under the company’s ownership in an estimated $9.3 billion deal.
The deal will see Endeavor from a new publicly listed company, consisting of both WWE and UFC. Endeavor will hold a 51% controlling interest in the new company and existing WWE shareholders will hold a 49% interest in the new company.
Vince McMahon reportedly had a major influence on this week’s post-WrestleMania edition of Monday Night RAW, which saw changes made to it.
While Triple H remains to be the Chief Content Officer after WWE was sold to Endeavor, Vince McMahon will be involved in the creative aspect “on a higher level.” Despite McMahon himself stating that he won’t be “in the weeds” of WWE’s creative process, he was said to be very hands-on and “firmly back in charge” of the show’s production.
