Vince McMahon Likely To Reacquire WWE After Recent Tease, Says Veteran

Speculations about Vince McMahon reacquiring WWE have raged like a wildfire.

It is well-documented now that McMahon still holds the third-largest stake in the company even after departing it in early January 2024.

Shane McMahon, his son, recently gave an interview to TMZ Sports, revealing little about the potential acquisition but keeping everyone interested.

In the short interview, he clarified that the rumors of him and his father starting a new wrestling company were baseless.

Shane then confirmed meeting Tony Khan, the owner of AEW, and wished him continued success.

Finally, when asked about Vince McMahon reclaiming WWE in the near future, Shane reaffirmed his father’s involvement in the TKO stake by saying, ‘Anything can happen.’

Veteran Breaks Down Vince McMahon’s WWE Reacquiring Plans

There is no doubt that Shane McMahon’s interview created a lot of buzz in the wrestling industry.

Jonathan Coachman and Vince Russo evaluated the tease in the TMZ interview on the recent Coach & Bro Show episode, with the latter stirring the pot more about McMahon Sr.’s plans to reacquire WWE.

(When Shane is asked about) Vince buying back in some way, shape or form the WWE; face lightens up a bit. Talks about how dad still owns stock in TKO, and then we get the old, this is wrestling, never say never. (That’s) what I think is MORE THAN A MAYBE.

And this is coming from somebody that is not a wrestler and not a worker, and my god, Coach, I don’t think anything could have been more telling than what Shane said in this interview. [From 28:54]

Vince McMahon had lately sold $250 million worth of stock to Endeavor. Despite that, he still holds approximately 3.25% of WWE.

Reports had also surfaced about McMahon launching an investment firm called 14TH & I, which would focus its resources on sports, media, and entertainment.
