Following Vince McMahon’s surprising retirement announcement from the WWE a few months ago, he later released a press release advocating for his return to the company, which WWE subsequently confirmed. Despite assurances that Vince isn’t involved in the daily operations of the WWE, many fans have been left wondering what his exact role within the company is.
In a recent interview with CNBC, WWE CEO Nick Khan was asked if Vince McMahon wanted to be a part of the company’s sale, to which he replied that he was unsure about Vince’s future involvement with WWE.
“It’s more a question for Vince. Since he’s been back, it’s been about three months or so in the Executive Chairman role. It’s been quite supplemental to myself, to our Head of Creative, to all of our other executives to have the expert of this business here when we want to reach out to him and have conversations. But I’m not sure exactly what he wants his future to hold.”
Despite rumors of a potential sale, WWE has yet to confirm any official details. It remains to be seen whether Vince McMahon will maintain his hands-off approach or take a more active role in the company’s day-to-day operations in the future.
