Vince McMahon Reportedly Interested In WWE Sale Scenario Where He Does Not Stay On With The Company

Vince McMahon may not want to remain a part of WWE after he sells the company.

According to Fightful Select, Vince McMahon is actually interested in a sale where he is not involved in the company’s future. This seems to open the door for other perspective buyers who have already hinted that they wouldn’t want Mr. McMahon’s continued input.

It’s worth noting that both to higher ups in WWE, and to those close to him personally, Vince McMahon has claimed that he would be interested in a sale that didn’t involve him staying with the company. McMahon has also downplayed rumors of influence on creative to claim to those close to him that he is back to either sell the company or oversee rights fee negotiations.

Virtually every source connected with a company that has been rumored to have interest was in agreement that if McMahon demanded to remain involved, it would negatively affect the sale price, leverage, and value of the brand moving forward.

Whoever buys WWE will need to understand how to run a multicultural, multimedia company. With a reported $9 billion price tag, WWE’s new perspective owner needs to really want the property as well.
