• Triple H On Vince McMahon Selling WWE
Earlier this year, Vince McMahon returned to the Board Of Directors and became The Chairman once again.
He’s back to sell the company and to ensure that they get the best deal possible, ahead of the upcoming RAW/SmackDown/NXT TV contract negotiations.
According to Bloomberg, Vince is asking for $9 billion to sell the company, which is 37% higher than WWE’s current market value of $6.5 billion.
Since Vince’s return in January and the news coming out of WWE being up for sale, the stock has risen by 30%.
Many big companies are interested in acquiring WWE, and one of them is Endeavor Group Holdings Inc, which owns UFC as well.
During the post-Elimination Chamber 2023 press conference, Triple H was asked about his opinion on this matter.
Below is what WWE’s Chief Content Officer said:
“Depends on who’s buying, I suppose. What the offer is. What the outcome is. Stay out of it, to me. And that’s not a compound answer.
I have the greatest gig in the world. I helped tonight in some small way… create the magic we did here tonight. And to me, it’s the best gig on the planet.
As long as we get to do this, as long as we get to create it, as long as we get to do our jobs, and we get to go out there and put our passion on display, as long as our talent can put their passion on display and do what we do, I’m good.”
