Vince McMahon Isn’t Returning to Wrestling—But He’s Got a New Business Plan

Despite speculation that Vince McMahon might be making a comeback in the wrestling industry, that’s not happening.

While Conrad Thompson recently claimed McMahon had been reaching out to former WWE executives and wrestling production staff about a new project, it turns out those rumors don’t involve wrestling at all.

During a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez shut down the idea that McMahon is launching a new wrestling company. Meltzer made it clear that while McMahon is working on a new entertainment venture, it’s not a wrestling promotion.

“I mean, he’s not starting a wrestling promotion. I can tell you that,” Meltzer stated. Alvarez then pointed out that while McMahon wants to start a new company, it wouldn’t be able to compete with WWE, AEW, or even TNA right away.

“Oh, he’s starting an entertainment company, yeah,” Meltzer continued. “There was stuff floating around yesterday about him starting a wrestling company, and those close to him say, ‘No, that is not happening.’ I mean, logic would tell you the same thing. I don’t think people really understand.”

Alvarez suggested that even if McMahon did try to start another wrestling promotion, he would immediately be ranked behind WWE, AEW, and TNA. Meltzer admitted that he could eventually surpass TNA, but with top wrestling talent locked into long-term contracts, the road to success would be tough.

Vince McMahon may be done with wrestling, but that doesn’t mean he’s done making moves. With a new entertainment venture in the works, it’s only a matter of time before details start emerging about what he’s really up to. Whether it’s media, sports, or something completely unexpected, one thing’s for sure—when McMahon steps into a new arena, people pay attention.
