It’s been a wild year for WWE as the company has been going through major changes with Vince McMahon stepping down as CEO and then eventually retiring. Vince McMahon parted ways with WWE without ever giving any sort of farewell address, but it looks like we may not have seen the last of Vince.
WrestleMania 39 will take place from SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles next year, and an insider recently told The U.S. Sun that there are talks of WWE paying tribute to Vince’s achievements next year during WrestleMania week.
“Vince may not be completely done with the WWE. There are discussions about how to pay tribute to his achievements of turning the small town wrestling biz into a global business venture. Fans may not have always liked the way he handled storylines and treated some talent, but his efforts to take the sport to the world cannot be underestimated. His departure was pretty unceremonious in terms of the business behind the scenes, but the sport is about fans. And as controversial as it may seem, there are fans who feel he deserves a send off. Now at this moment in time the suggestion of any kind of ‘celebration’ seems impossible and would spark potential backlash.
“However, an acknowledgement of his contributions remains an active discussion among the creative team. Obviously Vince will not wrestle again, but having an invitation to Wrestlemania could be a possibility. One discussion is whether it is too soon for him to be honoured at the WWE Hall Of Fame event, the night before Wrestlemania. Automatically that honor would mean he would walk on stage in front of LA fans next April. Stephanie has openly spoken about her father’s legacy since his departure and Triple H has huge respect for Vince.”
