Vince McMahon might be staying out of the wrestling spotlight for now, but according to Shane McMahon, his father is far from slowing down.

While speaking to TMZ Sports in a video published June 6, 2025, Shane gave a rare update on Vince’s lifestyle—and it sounds like the former WWE boss is still thinking like a mogul.

The TMZ interviewer asked Shane how his father has been doing lately. Shane said Vince is finally catching his breath—but don’t mistake that for retirement.

“He’s been doing really well. He’s enjoying, you know, getting a little uh—he’s enjoying life, you know, getting a little bit of a rest in there. But, you know, if you know my dad, he’s always gung-ho and he’s always doing the next thing—and that’s what he’s focused on.”

That “next thing” might already be taking shape. Vince McMahon recently launched an investment firm called 14TH & I, named after the iconic D.C. intersection where Capitol Wrestling Corporation—the precursor to WWE—was once based. The company has filed multiple LLCs in Connecticut and trademarked the brand for ventures in private equity and entertainment production.

Former WWE executive Brad Blum is president of the new firm and outlined its business focus in a recent statement. He confirmed that 14TH & I is looking for both buyouts and selective growth investments in sports, media, and entertainment.

“We seek to partner with and empower exceptional management teams, providing deep expertise, capability, and relationships to help drive significant long-term value.”

Despite being embroiled in legal battles—including shareholder lawsuits and sexual misconduct allegations—Vince is still deeply entrenched in the business world. He holds a major stake in TKO, the parent company of WWE and UFC, and continues to flex his financial influence behind the scenes.

If Shane’s words are any indication, Vince’s so-called “rest” might just be the calm before his next big business storm.
