Earlier this year Vince McMahon returned to WWE to pursue a sale of the company and it was revealed the day after WrestleMania 39 that WWE will be acquired by Endeavor. The plan is for WWE and UFC to merge and form one publicly traded company which means there will likely be a lot of moving parts when it comes to that process.
During WWE’s quarterly earnings call Nick Khan addressed the possibility of Endeavor getting involved with WWE creative and he made it clear that Endeavor is not going to be involved.
“I can certainly represent emphatically to you on the creative [side] that there’s no one at Endeavor or the UFC that has any interest in trying to interfere with that in any way whatsoever. I think Dana White would also represent to you that never or almost never –- I don’t know the specifics but never would be my guess –- have the Endeavor folks told him ‘you should do this match’ or ‘you should do it this way.’ That’s not what they do, that’s not what they say they do, and that’s not what they’re gonna do.”
