Now, Brandon Thurston spoke about the current possible plans of WWE and talked about the recent leadership of WWE President Nick Khan being the brain behind the releases. Aleister Black Firing ‘Ruins’ Zelena Vega Return?
He recently gave his thoughts on the current situation. He said:
“Foreboding that WWE is preparing to sell is the stuff of cynical wrestling fan fatalism. New leadership came on in August and is still in Year 1. I would be shocked if WWE sells in Vince’s lifetime. Nick Khan indicated to Cowherd that Vince has no intention to sell.
He further said that Nick Khan and Kristina Salen are planning to restructure the company and that has come as a way of releases and lay offs over the few years.
He said:
“I cannot imagine Vince doing anything else. Lay-offs, releases, & restructuring probably has more to do with Nick Khan and Kristina Salen critiquing and reshaping what George Barrios and Michelle Wilson left behind. Every few years WWE has cut employee & talent headcounts.”
He noted that WWE had over 300 wrestlers under contract in the last year which was way more than they required.
According to Thurston, Vince’s career has been ‘a control freak’. That tendency has increased with time. It is speculated that upon his absence, WWE might get sold to NBCUniversal.
