Vince McMahon may not be rejoining WWE creative right now, but he will have the power to do it later this year.
While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez discussed McMahon’s return and noted how McMahon could regain creative control of WWE.
I think the fact that he is going to be the key person selling, he may be looking for assurances (that he will be in charge).
The thing with Vince is that, if a deal was good for the stockholders with him not in charge, once it’s sold… it’s out of his hands, he’s never getting back in.
So he had to do a thing where, ‘I will not a approve any sale unless it’s the right terms’, and they had to kind of accept him back and pretend that everything is all copacetic because he had said basically that any negotiations for the next TV deal, or for the sale, if he wasn’t put back in charge, he would hold it up, he would never agree to it. So it’s kinda like they were handcuffed in a lot of ways.
But my gut is that once that sale is done, he probably will try to take over and get the Creative back. I think everyone kind of expects that. I don’t expect those moves to be made right away, but of course Vince wants to be Head of Creative.
And Vince does have power, as far as to facilitate it, he probably at some point this year will have the ability to do it without it having negative repercussions.”

For now, Triple H will remain in charge of WWE creative, but with McMahon’s motives clear, it may only be a matter of time till McMahon resumes control of creative.
