WWE confirms Triple H losing a major position in the company
WWE confirmed that the 14-time World Champion Triple H would not be on the new Board of Directors of 'TKO.'
Earlier today, the Stamford-based promotion and UFC united to establish TKO Group Holdings Inc. in a groundbreaking merger. After the official merger of World Wrestling Entertainment and Ultimate Fighting Championship, Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel takes over as TKO's CEO.
Meanwhile, Vince McMahon will serve as the company's Executive Chairman. It's a historic moment as McMahon, who turned his father's firm into a global juggernaut and has ruled WWE for decades as well as its largest shareholder, relinquishes control.
Endeavor will control 51% of TKO, with WWE shareholders owning the remaining 49%. In the wake of the new changes, as per the company's website, Triple H is not listed on the board committee, which he has been a part of for almost eight years since 2015.
According to a new press release from World Wrestling Entertainment, the board of 11 includes individuals from Endeavor and WWE, such as Mr. Emanuel, Mr. Shapiro, and Mr. Khan, as well as the directors named here.
