Backstage News On The Reaction To Vince McMahon’s Rumored WWE Sale

Vince McMahon returned to the WWE Board of Directors last week and business has certainly picked up since then. Stephanie McMahon resigned from her position as Co-CEO and Chairwoman of WWE, and shortly after it was reported that Vince McMahon has agreed in principle to sell the company to the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund. The reports have since been denied, but it seems that the rumor scared a lot of people in WWE.

Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that people in the company don’t know for sure that the deal has been made, but there’s a lot of uncertainty.

“Talked to people in the company, they didn’t know for sure. Everyone at the NXT tapings heard the rumors, could not confirm them, but everybody was scared. Whether it’s their job, whether it’s whatever, there’s a lot of uncertainty there. Uncertainty throughout the company. The Stephanie resignation worried a lot of people as well.”

As of this writing WWE has yet to confirm any type of sale. Stay tuned for more updates on the situation as they become available.
