Ever since he acquired WWE from his father, Vince McMahon’s name has become synonymous with the billion-dollar wrestling brand. Who would have thought a decade ago that the former head of the company would be out of action and stripped of his executive responsibilities years down the line?
But it’s not like he is no longer active. The former head of the WWE is making business decisions one after another, giving life to speculations of whether he will ever be back at the helm of affairs again in the WWE. However, a veteran WWE writer thinks such a move is no longer possible.
Vince Russo shared his thoughts on the prospect of Vince McMahon buying back WWE ever again
During a recent appearance on his podcast, former WWE author and commentator Vince Russo talked about the potential scenario in which Vince McMahon buys back WWE from the TKO group. Raising his doubts over such a situation. Russo shared:
The only thing Vince needs to worry about, and that’s why this ain’t easy bro, because we still got the Janel Grant lawsuit hanging in the balance bro. We still have that. And Vince’s age. I think Vince is 79 the last I checked.
Russo clearly mentioned that the Janel Grant lawsuit lawsuit outcome and McMahon’s health at such an old age are the the only two reasons why a plan of potentially buying back WWE from McMahon may never come to fruition. While Vince Russo might not believe such a move could ever happen, in a hypothetical scenario where Vince McMahon becomes the owner of WWE once again, the potential fallout could be huge.
While it could harm some major storylines and character developments in the WWE, it could also mean the end of Triple H‘s presence in the organisation. Additionally, in the event of Vince McMahon’s return to the WWE, several prominent WWE superstars, now on the sidelines, may garner importance all over again.
Although no official confirmation has come from either TKO Group or McMahon himself, recent developments suggest that the former WWE chairman may be positioning himself for a possible return. McMahon has reportedly taken several steps behind the scenes that hint at a potential comeback.
Vince McMahon registers a new company – Does this signal his possible return to WWE?
The former head of the WWE emerged as a major talking point once again when he launched a new company by the name of 14TH&I, registered in Connecticut in September 2024. The background and the area of expertise in which the company operates are rather interesting.
Vince McMahon’s new venture is interested in acquiring majority stakes in prominent companies related to sports, media, and the entertainment sector. The company is a private investment firm and has shown interest in buying minority stakes in profitable commercial deals.
Consequently, the nature of the company has stoked controversy, and speculations were abuzz whether McMahon, through his new venture, plans to buy back WWE from its current owners. To hint at the possibility of the same, McMahon has appointed Brad Blum, a former WWE executive, as the president of the company.
Through his new organization, Vince McMahon has made it clear that he intends to reclaim a central role in WWE’s decision-making. His actions suggest a strong desire to return to the company he once led. But the question remains, will he succeed in that effort, or will his ambitions be derailed by the ongoing Janel Grant lawsuit and the controversy surrounding it? For now, only time will tell how this chapter unfolds.
