Recent updates shed light on Vince McMahon’s potential launch of a new wrestling enterprise following his departure from WWE.
Since resigning on January 26 amid allegations, McMahon has been divesting his stock holdings rapidly. Now, he’s taken a significant step by registering all remaining shares for sale, signaling his detachment from WWE and TKO. This move sparks speculation: could McMahon be gearing up to launch a new venture?
Industry Insiders Weigh In
Contractual stipulations suggest McMahon might need to wait until January 26, 2025, to pursue such a venture. Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer consulted industry insiders for their views.
While many believe McMahon is finished with wrestling due to age and reputation, some speculate his substantial resources might drive him to launch a new company if he were younger. However, securing deals and sponsorships could prove challenging amidst ongoing legal issues.
Despite doubts, a “powerful figure behind the scenes” suggests McMahon may indeed undertake a new venture given his deep involvement in wrestling.
While some within WWE doubt McMahon’s intentions, they acknowledge his potential to pose a challenge. However, others view McMahon’s chances as slim, citing WWE’s dominance and doubts about securing distribution.
A former associate of McMahon, though noting changes, still considers him a formidable contender in the industry.
