Vince McMahon is the CEO of WWE and has the final say in everything that goes on in the company, whether it be related to production, storylines or matches in general. Vince McMahon also recently got a big name to destroy AEW as well.
Former WWE Superstar Charlie Haas recently spoke to Wrestling Inc, where he claimed that the NFL offered Vince McMahon millions of dollars to get them to move WWE RAW from Mondays, ending their competition.
Of course, this was back before the Monday Night Wars was a reality and WWE was arguably one of the most popular things in the world and a major part of pop culture and news in general.
“It was so popular that the NFL was going to pay WWF money just to move Monday Night RAW away so the ratings for the NFL and Monday Night Football would go back up. This is before Nitro got launched. The NFL was plummeting in the ratings because RAW was hot, really. They offered them a couple million to move it to another night, and they said no.”
We certainly wonder how different things would have been if WWE decided to accept the NFL’s offer.
