As much as it’s surreal to believe, WWE has moved on from Vince McMahon, the man who once created this empire. Amid multiple allegations lodged against him, the new regime wanted to go forward without keeping any connection with him in a phase that essentially downgraded his prior status among the fans and critics.
Most recently, the Mr. McMahon documentary was released on Netflix, last month and it put him back in discussions again. Being a maestro figure in the professional wrestling business and beyond, Vince McMahon had owned the WWE since the 1980s under Titan Sports. This essentially made him a millionaire and then a billionaire but those good times are now gone.

Amid the controversy, which McMahon has denied, he resigned as Executive Chairman of WWE’s parent company TKO in January. And in April filed to sell his last eight million shares,” Forbes mentioned through a Facebook post.

After Claims of sex trafficking and sexual abuse surfaced against him, the legacy of Vince McMahon as a prominent figure in the sports entertainment industry remained no more. Janel Grant accused the former WWE Chairman alongside John Laurinaitis of some serious misconduct, including sexual assault, emotional abuse, and sex trafficking.
Recent reports also claimed that Vince McMahon tried buying the rights to his Netflix documentary, but his bid was unsuccessful. He later issued a statement ahead of the premiere and expressed not having any regret participating in docu-series that “has been misrepresented or left out entirely in an effort to leave viewers intentionally confused.”
