When Vince McMahon promotes his goods, he genuinely pours forth his heart. Vince has occasionally demonstrated throughout the years that he can do just about anything to improve his product. Over time, his tactics and prompt decision-making have proven advantageous for the business. He is without a doubt one of the most perceptive figures in the professional wrestling industry.
Well, it seems that the TKO Group, which includes WWE and UFC, doesn’t think the same about McMahon. Since the merger took place, UFC and WWE have been shown together in the spotlight at various times. It is visible during the interviews and conferences that Vince isn’t liked by anyone on the board.
McMahon has had issues with UFC President Dana White for a long time, and it seems that Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor, also does not like Vince’s presence. He recently blamed McMahon as one of the key reasons behind TKO’s recent stock plunge.
During a recent SEC filing, TKO even said,” Mr. McMahon’s membership on our Board could expose us to negative publicity and/or have other adverse financial and operational impacts on our business. His membership also may result in additional scrutiny or otherwise exacerbate the other risks described herein. Any of these outcomes could directly or indirectly have adverse financial and operational impacts on our business“.

This ignited a lot of controversy, as it is visible how much Ari Emanuel’s Endeavor despises the Executive Chairman. Fans also went on to show their reactions, calling it an end for Vince in the WWE. A user even wrote, “Vince screwed Vince!”, referencing the s*xual misconduct done by the 78-year-old, eventually turning himself into a negative influencer.
Vince‘s controversial acts have finally paid the price for him, as he is truly unwanted in his own company. Being one of the most intelligent minds in business, many think this might affect his legacy and high-caliber status even more.
What’s Next For Vince McMahon?
It is quite certain to say that after the recent merger, Vince has surely been in the news. Whether it is because of his new role or his involvement in the company, he has been in the business for decades and has already achieved a lot of success down the road. Apart from Endeavor’s higher authorities, Vince is highly respected in the world of professional wrestling.
Being the Executive Chairman of the newly formed merger, Vince also has the power to make key changes in WWE. With the engaging saga between the TKO Group and Vince McMahon, chances are that Vince might be done for good. His days might be over with the company he built due to his scandals back in the day.
Nevertheless, there will never be anyone like him, and it will be very tough to get someone who can match Vince. If he manages to stay a part of the team, it will be beneficial for the WWE as long as he serves the company.
