A higher up in the company didn’t express much concern as they noted the stock price is up, viewership is up and morale is up. That source noted that it would be a selfish move for Vince to return, but they don’t think it’s going to happen despite McMahon having voting power.

One member of the staff noted that morale has increased tenfold since Vince left and they don’t believe that he will be back. Another source added that Vince McMahon returning would be irreparable damage to the WWE brand.

After speaking with over a dozen talent, staff and WWE employees the unanimous reaction is that Vince McMahon was not wanted back in WWE.
