Teddy Long Doesn’t Rule Out Vince McMahon Return to WWE Power

Speculation over whether Vince McMahon could somehow regain control of WWE has been heating up—and now Teddy Long has chimed in with his own blunt take.

The WWE Hall of Famer addressed Eric Bischoff’s recent comments on his Road Trip After Hours podcast, where the possibility of McMahon buying WWE back from TKO Group Holdings was on the table. Bischoff previously said the idea wasn’t likely but was still plausible if McMahon secured enough financial backing. Podcast host Mac Davis quoted Bischoff’s exact words to set the scene:

“According to Eric Bischoff: ‘Never say never. I can’t imagine the scenario where that would be likely, however, it’s plausible. TKO might not be interested, but it’s a publicly held company… it is plausible that Vince McMahon could put together enough money to make an offer. And because it would have a potentially good impact on the shareholders’ value, the offer would have to be entertained.’”

Teddy Long didn’t hesitate with his response. He went straight to the heart of the matter:

“Well, like I always tell you—every man has a price.”

Mac added his own insight, connecting it to current business realities:

“Especially if your company right now is, you know, money… and you see the ratings, and they’re not getting better—they’re getting worse. If that’s the case, Netflix is going to get kind of edgy about everything. So you never know what may happen.”

And in a bold closing statement, Mac made it clear he doesn’t believe we’ve seen the last of Vince McMahon:

“I still believe though—we will see Vince McMahon one day, somewhere, somehow back in the public eye, and probably within sports entertainment.”

With both Long and Bischoff leaving the door open—even slightly—the idea of Vince McMahon returning to power may not be as far-fetched as some think. In pro wrestling, anything truly can happen.
