Reports: Vince McMahon Unlikely To Buy Back WWE

Recent rumors suggesting Vince McMahon is eager to buy back WWE have largely been fueled by former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman, who claims McMahon wants to return to control the company. However, multiple sources and financial analyses indicate that McMahon is unlikely to have the financial means or controlling stake to repurchase WWE, especially after the company’s merger with UFC to form TKO Group Holdings, which significantly increased its market value. McMahon retains some shares in TKO Group, but major ownership lies with The Vanguard Group, Endeavor, Silver Lake equity holders, and Egon Durban, who collectively control over 60% of the company. Despite Coachman’s statements and insider tips, no credible media outlets have confirmed any active movement by McMahon to regain control. Additionally, McMahon’s legal challenges and his resignation from TKO Group in early 2024 further complicate his potential return. Overall, the idea of McMahon buying back WWE remains speculative and unsupported by concrete evidence.
