News about Vince McMahon

Triple H (left) is the new boss of the company after Vince McMahon stepped down from his role. WWE marked a new era under 'The Game' at WrestleMania, with a number of stars branding it 'The Triple H era' on the back of one of the most successful shows the promotion has ever put on. Feedback has generally been positive regarding the leadership of Triple H, real name Paul Levesque, but not all of the WWE talent past and present have good things to say about the veteran.

Vince McMahon will end his fifty-year association with WWE by selling his remaining shares in TKO to confirm his exit from the wrestling promotion. On Friday TKO filed a prospectus detailing that McMahon would be selling up to 8.02 million shares he holds in the company, which were worth $96.76 apiece and $776 million in total McMahon has worked for WWE since the 1960s, before eventually buying the company from his father and transforming it into a sports entertainment brand and the biggest name in professional wrestling - whilst making him a billionaire along the way. In 2022, he briefly retired following allegations of sexual misconduct, but managed to engineer a return to the company at the end of that year to facilitate a sale of the business. Endeavour Group Holdings purchased the company in September last year, merging it with UFC to form a new publicly traded name, TKO - with McMahon as executive chairman.

Vince McMahon is pointing the finger at the former WWE employee who accused him of sex trafficking, claiming that she snuck into his penthouse apartment to get into his bed while her own fiancé was present in another unit in the building. According to the latest filing in the case, obtained by the New York Post, McMahon claims Janel Grant, 43, was a willing participant in their sexual relationship for three years, while continuing to deny the explosive charges levied against him in her lawsuit. Namely, McMahon denies ever defecating on Grant's head, as she claimed in her filing.

Former WWE boss Vince McMahon has put all his remaining TKO shares up for sale as his exit from the company continues. McMahon has been slowly exiting TKO after it emerged he would be facing a lawsuit for sex trafficking, with the 78-year-old now having no control in WWE, which is now led by his son-in-law, Triple H. He had helmed the company since its formation a number of decades ago, until his retirement in 2022 following allegations of sexual misconduct, though he returned and began to lure control back.

The event over the weekend shattered records , becoming the highest-grossing event ever for the company, raking in millions of dollars and breaking all sorts of crowd and social media viewing figures. Though the man himself is reluctant to brand it so, the Triple H era is well underway, with Vince McMahon far away from any control in the business and the franchise seemingly a happier place for it. WrestleMania 40 was a raging success, but how can WWE follow it up?

On his Diary of a CEO podcast, the former UFC and WWE star, 37, talked to Steven Bartlett about her difficult journey. She described how her father took his own life when she was eight years old before she began to combat eating disorders, abuse, and mental health problems. Ronda, who appeared in the interview, accused Vince McMahon of causing a'fundamentally unhealthy environment' at WWE, was also detailed about how she suffered two miscarriages and blamed herself for her own, including: "I never felt like it was my fault."

Ronda Rousey has accused WWE founder Vince McMahon of creating a "fundamentally unhealthy environment" and that the disgraced former CEO is still in charge of the company, even though resigned amid a bombshell sex trafficking lawsuit. 'This billion-dollar behemoth corporation' will only'function' if it eliminates all of McMahon's remaining 'cronies,' Rousey, a former WWE wrestler who also competed in the UFC, claims. In a lawsuit brought by a former employee, Janel Grant, earlier this year, the 78-year-old billionaire was accused of sex trafficking. McMahon defecated on her head during a threesome, according to her. McMahon denied the allegations and has not been charged with any criminal investigation connected to the situation.

The WWE president was speaking after his first WrestleMania was in charge of the organization, moments after The Rock and Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of night one. Lesnar had been one of the best starts in the game for a number of years, but it was quickly dismissed when he was connected to former WWE boss Vince McMahon's sex trafficking case. He hasn't been seen on WWE television since, with plans for him to face Dominik Mysterio and then Gunther scrapped in the run-up to WrestleMania.

Ronda Rousey revealed which male WWE celebrity she confronted after he pulled a string on her sweatpants. Vince McMahon, who became embroiled in sex trafficking charges early this year and resigned from his role as TKO, has been chastised in recent months. Although Rousey, a 37-year-old wrestler who competed in WWE from 2018 to October, said she never suffered any misconduct from McMahon specifically, she did not like what she did not like.

CM Punk punk out the last time he heard Vince McMahon and slammed the former WWE CEO about the sex trafficking charges against him. Punk made a thrilling return to WWE at Survivor Series in November, nearly a decade after his tragic departure from the company. The former UFC fighter revealed he had a brief chat with McMahon in a gym at WWE's headquarters when he was finalizing the contract for his return.

On January 25, Janel Grant, a former WWE employee, charged McMahon of sex trafficking and multiple charges of sexual assault. The 78-year-old resigned as executive chairman of WWE's parent company, TKO Group Holdings, the day after. The New York Post has published an email sent by Grant on December 24, 2021, in which she declared her admiration for the promoter and branded him "my best friend, my love, and my everything." It's like my life isn't even real to me unless you're there and in it, and I'm sharing it with you,' Grant, 43, reportedly wrote. Grant's letter stands in contrast to the allegations that she filed as part of an explosive lawsuit in Connecticut in which she argued McMahon had defecated on her head during a threesome in 2020, about 18 months before the letter was sent.

Vince McMahon has profited a substantial sum after selling TKO shares, but the company is facing prosecution for sex trafficking. McMahon resigned from his position as Executive Chairman of TKO in January after being shocked by sex trafficking allegations just months after the multi-billion-pound merger between WWE and UFC was announced. The 78-year-old had been WWE boss for many decades and first resigned in July 2022 after a string of sexual harassment charges, but soon returned to work shortly after.

Asuka's 2020 Women's Money in the Bank match was a success during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lynch vacated the title while pregnant with her daughter Roux, who was also crowned WWE Women's Champion with the win. Lynch recalled the anxiety when she and her husband, Seth Rollins, learned of the pregnancy and realized they had to inform the WWE chief, and she wrote "Not Your Average Girl." I'll tell him [Vince] that I can still do well,' she said. 'You know, maybe I can... I'd like to make a film about this.'

Ronda Rousey has slammed the WWE and has stated that she has no intention of returning to the league. Rousey rose to fame after becoming the first female champion of UFC women's bantamweight and the best female celebrity in UFC history. The 37-year-old made the switch to wrestling in 2018, becoming a member of WWE before making her Wrestlemania 34 debut.

McMahon's career was turned upside down when he became the subject of sex trafficking charges early this year and resigned from his position at TKO. All charges have been denied. Rousey hasn't been one to bite her tongue when it comes to her opinions, and she seems to have expressed her dissatisfaction with her former boss. In her latest autobiography titled 'Our Fight,' which will be published on April 4, the MMA star-turned wrestler made a snide remark about the 78-year-old businessman.

McMahon served in the company for a number of decades before his resignation in 2022 as a result of allegations of sexual assault, but the company regained control in 2022. This was before WWE and UFC announced a merger under the TKO umbrella company, which had McMahon as executive chairman until he resigned in January after allegations of sex trafficking, which he denied.

In the investigation into suspected sex trafficking charges brought against former company chairman Vince McMahon, President Nick Khan and COO Brad Blum, two WWE executives were named as complicit. Khan and Blum were accused of being "instrumental to a scheme" where Grant was employed 'in a completely undefined position,' according to the federal suit, which was filed in January by former corporate employee Janel Grant. According to Front Office Sports, Grant's only assumption for him was that "she remained a sexual slave to be used and trafficked by McMahon within the WWE."

Lesnar had been one of the best starts in the game for a number of years, but it was soon dismissed when he was connected to Vince McMahon's child trafficking lawsuit. He hasn't been seen on WWE television since, with plans for him to face Dominik Mysterio and then Gunther scrapped in the build-up to WrestleMania this April. He was expected to return to TV for the first time since SummerSlam at the Royal Rumble in January, but his return was not confirmed and he was also barred from the upcoming WWE video game 2K24.

McMahon resigned as Executive Chairman of TKO in January after being swarmed by sex trafficking charges just months after the multi-billion-pound merger between WWE and UFC was concluded. The 78-year-old had been WWE boss for a number of decades, and first resigned in July 2022 after a string of sexual harassment charges, but soon returned to work soon after. Following the merger, he was named Executive Chairman of TKO and appeared in a number of promotional photographs, but his recovery was brief and he is now far away from WWE operations.

Since causing a car accident and three times over the legal alcohol limit, Sytch, 51, is serving a 17-year sentence at the Lowell Correctional Institution in Florida. The pile-up resulted in the death of a 75-year-old man. Sytch appeared on the Bird Calls podcast on Thursday and spoke about her lack of intimacy and other struggles in jail. 'It's already been 22 months without it, and let me tell you that it's awful,' she said. 'It's like you're getting a virgin' It's like, it's crazy.'

More than a month after Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's appointment to the executive board that oversees both WWE and UFC, he now owns 20 trademarks relating to the company. Dwayne Johnson joined TKO in late January, days before new sexual harassment charges against former WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon surfaced, causing the 78-year-old to leave professional wrestling again. Johnson now owns "The Rock" as an entity by itself, as well as his nicknames, such as 'The Great One', 'The Brahma Bull,' and 'The People's Champion.' He also owns the trademarks to his two signature moves, 'The People's Elbow' and the 'Rock Bottom'.

During a show against then-chief Vince McMahon's wishes, a former WWE writer said he was fired by the corporation for changing a "racially insensitive segment." Michael Leonardi, who worked with the wrestling company from 2001 to 2005 before returning in 2015, made the allegations on his LinkedIn page. But Leonardi said he was let go the following January after making changes to a script for a version of Raw that he said'still rubs me the wrong way.'

For all the WWE has been able to pedal in recent months, and the elimination Chamber in Perth will no doubt add to the growing list - Vince McMahon's dark cloud has continued to loom large. The 78-year-old wrestled WWE for over 40 years before selling to Endevour and taking up a CEO role in their new conglomerate that housed both UFC and WWE TKO. However, after accusations of sex trafficking and sexual assault, he was coerced to resign from his position in TKO in January 2024. McMahon is now under federal scrutiny. He denied all allegations against him.

Randy Orton, a WWE wrestler, is 'torn' over sexual harassment charges against ex-chairman Vince McMahon. The 43-year-old star said he had no idea what to think about former WWE workers Janel Grant's federal complaint, alleging that McMahon abused her to other employees and once defected on her head during a threesome, according to a New York Times column. Grant also claims she was once imprisoned in a WWE facility where McMahon and another executive sexually assaulted her, and that physical damage stemmed from her sexual contact with the 78-year-old wrestling promoter. 'I've seen the terrible stuff online that I don't want to believe because this guy has done so many things for me,' Orton told The Times. I wouldn't have been allowed second and third chances [in WWE] if it wasn't for him]. I wouldn't be in a situation right now if it wasn't for that guy.'
