It’s impossible to ignore the influence of Vince McMahon on the world of wrestling, with fans and journalists alike keeping a close eye on his every move to see if he’s behind the scenes of WWE’s biggest shows. While McMahon has weathered controversies and a so-called retirement, he continues to hold significant power in WWE and has arguably benefited the most from the recent WWE/UFC merger. However, for those hoping to see McMahon permanently exiled from the wrestling world, there is a glimmer of hope. According to The Hollywood Reporter, McMahon’s latest contract with WWE includes a “Code of Conduct” and “Equal Opportunity and Non-Harassment Policy,” which he must comply with to maintain his employment. Any violation of these policies could potentially cause problems for the 77-year-old Executive Chairman.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, McMahon has been involved in recent controversies due to an investigation into payments he made over a period of several years to conceal alleged affairs and allegations of sexual harassment and assault. Moreover, earlier this year, he resolved a lawsuit with rape accuser Rita Chatterton for an undisclosed sum. McMahon addressed his past transgressions after the WWE/UFC merger, stating that he had “owned up” to everything.
