Rumors about Vince McMahon Trying to Buy Back WWE Start Again

Posted By James Walsh on 04/22/26


This has been making the rounds online for a while now. But, it seems to have intensified yet again this week following WrestleMania 42.

Reports suggest Vince McMahon is in active talks with Saudi investors about a potential bid to reacquire WWE from TKO Group Holdings.
🤯 The move would mark a dramatic attempt by McMahon to regain control of the company he built, with plans reportedly including taking WWE private again.
📉 McMahon stepped down as chairman in January 2024 following a civil lawsuit and has since sold over $2 billion worth of TKO shares, significantly reducing his ownership stake.
⚖️ Reports also claim that any criminal legal matters tied to him have been dropped, though the situation remains closely watched.
🇸🇦 Saudi-backed funding is said to be central to the potential deal, which could reach multi-billion dollar levels if it materializes.
🏟️ If successful, the move would represent one of the most shocking power shifts in wrestling history—bringing WWE back under McMahon’s direct control.
