Vince McMahon’s recent departure from WWE and TKO Group Holdings, following a lawsuit alleging abuse and misconduct, has generated various company reactions. While some express relief and see this as McMahon facing the repercussions of his actions, others anticipate further upheaval, as reported by PWInsider Elite.
This development follows Slim Jim’s suspension of its significant sponsorship with WWE in light of the allegations. The speed of McMahon’s resignation came as a surprise, prompting speculation that TKO’s parent company, Endeavor, might initiate a broader overhaul, potentially impacting those closely associated with McMahon.
The recent appointment of Dwayne, “The Rock” Johnson to TKO’s board, has fueled rumors about his possible increased involvement in WWE. Additionally, there’s hope among some employees for the return of Stephanie McMahon, who left WWE before its merger with UFC and Endeavor’s takeover.
As the wrestling world grapples with these changes, the future of WWE’s leadership and direction remains to be determined. In his defense, McMahon has categorically denied the lawsuit’s allegations, pledging to fight vigorously against the claims.
