The Rock Reveals His Reaction To The WWE Sale

Earlier this year Vince McMahon returned to WWE to sell the company, and the day after WrestleMania 39 it was confirmed that Endeavor will acquire World Wrestling Entertainment which will merge with UFC to form a new publicly traded company.

Vince McMahon and Ari Emanuel appeared on CNBC to discuss the sale shortly after it was announced and they pushed the idea that it will be a beneficial relationship for both sides. The Rock recently appeared on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street and he noted that he recently connected with Vince McMahon. The Great One also shared his take on the merger and he indicated that he thinks things are going to go well moving forward.

“I see smooth sailing with those guys. They’ve known each other for a very, very long time. We all have, as a matter of fact. And I see smooth sailing with this. This has been a long time coming.

When you think about where Vince started… I often talk about my seven bucks moment, how I had seven bucks in my pocket when I was cut from the Canadian Football League. Vince had his seven bucks moment too as well when he leveraged every dollar he had for the very first WrestleMania. Years later, he creates this merger with Ari that’s in the billions of dollars. When I say smooth sailing, I mean these guys are adamant on creating an incredible conglomerate that’s going to entertain the masses. And I think between WWE, UFC, bull riding, and probably some of the other things that are coming down the pike, I’m excited about this merger.”
