Vince McMahon has been working with the Saudi’s for quite some time it would seem.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed WWE’s potential deal with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and when Vince McMahon might have started working on it. It was noted that McMahon got to work on the deal right after he retired last year.
One thing that we do know is that ever since Vince was ousted, he did open up talks with the Saudis. I mean, this didn’t come in the last week. His coming back was obviously to close the deal, that, perhaps the people who are running the company, for all the reasons we were talking about, probably felt very uneasy about the deal closing because they are, perhaps, looking out for the longterm future of their company and their own asses too. So, that’s another layer. Obviously, the people on the board, Nick Khan and Triple H, who voted one way before [to keep Vince McMahon out of the Board of Directors] and they voted another way today.
