REPORT: Endeavor Considering ‘Sweeping Out’ All Vince McMahon Allies Inside WWE For ‘Fresh Start’
Endeavor is reportedly looking for a ‘fresh start’ for WWE.
In case you missed it — last night, longtime WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon tendered his resignation from his spot as Executive Chairman of TKO Group following the Wall Street Journal revealing a lawsuit against TKO Chairman Vince McMahon, stemming from the alleged sexual assault and trafficking of former WWE employee, Janel Grant.
In a new report via PWInsider, WWE’s parent company, Endeavor, is considering letting go of any perceived Vince McMahon ‘allies’ in hopes of turning over a new leaf inside of WWE.
“There is a belief in WWE that Endeavor may sweep out anyone close to Vince McMahon and his remaining team in order to have a complete “fresh start” for the company going forward.There were employees who exited the company when Vince initially resigned who returned when he forced his way back in. For those who have remained with WWE post-Endeavor purchase, the belief among those spoken with is their connection to McMahon may be a major negative going forward for their WWE status.”

In addition to McMahon, former WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar (indirectly), and former Head of Talent Relations, John Laurinaitis were also implicated in the lawsuit.
BodySlam will continue to provide any updates on the status of Vince McMahon as they become available.
