"Could have been working on at home" - Wrestling personality feels Vince McMahon planned WWE sale long before his return (Exclusive)
Sportskeeda Wrestling's Senior Editor, Bill Apter, recently shared his thoughts on how Vince McMahon could have spent his time away from WWE.
Earlier today, Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net reported that WWE has principally agreed to sell the company to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund. There were also rumors of the company going private. However, as of this writing, there has been no official press release on the matter, and there is no concrete evidence to go by.
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Bill Apter mentioned that Vince could have been planning a potential sale during his time away from the company. Apter stated that the 77-year-old went out on bad advice, and now that he's back, he might do whatever he pleases in the company he built.
"This could have been something that this guy could have been working on at home. He's not going to sit home all those weeks and be grandpa Vince to the grandkids. I always said what he wants, if he wants it he's going to get it. He wanted to come back. He said he was given bad advice to step down. I truly believe he just believed the people around him because they were afraid to keep him there with all the allegations that were coming down." [2:10 - 2:45]
