Backstage News On Vince McMahon Being Removed From WWE Creative

It’s certainly been an interesting time to be a WWE fan as Vince McMahon retired in July of 2022 which led to Triple H taking over creative. Vince later returned to WWE earlier this year to sell the company and the day after WrestleMania 39 it was announced that Endeavor would acquire World Wrestling Entertainment.

When the deal was first announced Vince McMahon stated that he wouldn’t be in the weeds, but he would get involved with creative at a high level. However, Dave Meltzer noted on Wrestling Observer Radio that Vince McMahon has been removed from creative now that the deal with Endeavor is done.

“Well, he’s out of creative. It’s a big story because Ari Emanuel, when they were on the verge of closing the deal, and had actually closed the deal in April, did media rounds and (said), ‘Vince will be in charge of the company (WWE), and if me and Vince have a disagreement, it goes the way Vince wants because Vince is the guy’.

“So then the deal went through, it only really went through about a month ago, and already, Vince is out of creative because of Ari Emanuel. So this is a real interesting thing because it is the first time – Vince is now in the position that his father was in in ‘84 when his father had run the company for years and years and years, and (then) he was just an employee of Vince Jr.

“Although he hates that term – Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Vincent Kennedy McMahon was the guy making all the decisions, and now, Vince was in fact overruled, even though when he merged the company he was told this would not happen.

“It did happen. And it’s a really interesting thing. And that statement when Ari Emanuel was talking about the reasons the stock is down, and he mentioned Vince’s name. So, it is very interesting I think what is going to happen. But Vince’s power’s clearly marginalized, there’s no way around that.”
