WWE Stock Trading Briefly Pauses Due To Vince McMahon’s Return

Over the past several weeks, there have been rumors that Vince McMahon is planning to return to the WWE. Fans hoped that would never be the case, but Vince McMahon returned to WWE as part of their Board of Directors. After this shake-up, WWE stock briefly paused.

WWE confirmed that Vince McMahon has been reinstated to the WWE Board of Directors, alongside two of his preferred candidates, George Barrios and Michelle Wilson. It was also made very clear that McMahon’s return does not guarantee a sale will happen.

Vince McMahon’s reported plans to sell WWE also led to the company’s stock rising. According to a report by Walter Bloomberg, WWE stock has stopped trading as the company plans on making a massive announcement soon.

Vince McMahon also gave full support to Triple H and WWE management before he returned. It is unclear how Vince McMahon’s return will affect WWE’s creative plan, because they also have networks to deal with in that regard.

The WWE Board Of Directors previously tried to stop Vince McMahon from returning. Regardless, Vince McMahon is officially back, and it remains to be seen what will become of WWE in the end.
