Below are a couple of top WWE & AEW news stories of the day:
– The LA Times reports that depending on the potential findings in the ongoing government investigations into payments made during the hush money scandal, Vince McMahon could face criminal and/or civil liabilities that could prevent him from serving as an officer or director of a public company, as well as a clawback of any “ill-gotten gains”.
WWE held an employee meeting at Stamford on Tuesday, after over 100 employees were released last week due to the merger with UFC.
In this meeting, McMahon stated that WWE had plateaued and the deal with Endeavor to form TKO Group Holdings needed to be done to get to the next level.
According to Fightful Select, these comments from Vince led many within the company to reaffirm their belief that Vince did this deal so he could return to WWE.
McMahon is believed to hold veto power in his new role as Executive Chairman with TKO Group Holdings, which could be used in decision making for the UFC. Dana White still books the entire fighting promotion as the UFC CEO.
– AEW couple Julia Hart (who is a part of The House Of Black stable) and Lee Johnson are getting married on October 12th.
Julia revealed this on her Instagram story, by setting a timer of 23 days with the caption “I Do”. They got engaged last year.
