Vince McMahon is back on WWE’s Board of Directors

Published on

Vince McMahon, the majority shareholder of WWE, used his influence to demand that he be reinstated to a position of power to approve any media rights deals. It appears that his efforts were successful.

According to a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Vince McMahon has rejoined the board of directors for WWE. Thurston of Wrestlenomics noted this significant development.

It is unclear at this time how McMahon’s return to the board of directors will affect the creative direction of the company. Only time will reveal how this may impact the path leading up to WrestleMania and the overall direction of WWE moving forward in 2023.

Here is the filing:

REMOVAL OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
