We at Real Rasslin have come to learn.
The wrestling world is buzzing with the recent announcement of Vince McMahon‘s resignation from WWE and its parent company, TKO Group Holdings.
This significant development has elicited a range of reactions from those within the company, reflecting the complex legacy Vince McMahon leaves behind.
WWE News: Mixed Emotions Backstage
Backstage, the mood is one of mixed emotions. Several employees have expressed a sense of relief and even happiness at Vince McMahon’s departure, according to a new report from PWInsider Elite.
This reaction seems to stem from a belief that Vince McMahon is finally facing the repercussions of his actions. The backdrop to his resignation is a civil lawsuit filed against him and former WWE employee John Laurinitis by Janel Grant, a former WWE employee.
The lawsuit alleges serious misconduct, including physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and trafficking within WWE.
WWE News: Anticipation of Change
The wrestling community had been anticipating further fallout from the lawsuit, especially after Slim Jim suspended its significant sponsorship with WWE due to the allegations.
Vince McMahon’s resignation, however, occurred more swiftly than many had expected. There is now speculation that Endeavor, TKO’s parent company, might undertake a comprehensive overhaul, potentially impacting individuals closely associated with Vince McMahon.
Those who had left WWE during Vince McMahon’s initial step down and returned upon his regaining control are particularly concerned about their future with the company.
The Future of WWE
The resignation coincides with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s recent appointment to TKO’s Board of Directors, fuelling rumours about potential changes in WWE’s leadership.
Some within WWE are hopeful for the return of Stephanie McMahon, though her previous departure occurred before significant changes in the company’s structure.
In response to the allegations, Vince McMahon has strongly denied the claims, describing the lawsuit as a collection of falsehoods and a deliberate distortion of the truth.
He has pledged to vigorously defend himself against these allegations.
