WWE invests in interesting sports league venture

Vince McMahon's company is getting involved in another business venture

WWE has allegedly invested in a new and surprising sports league endeavor, according to new reports.

The company has been in hot water recently with several allegations surrounding "hush money" payments and sexual misconduct aimed at Vince McMahon. McMahon has since stepped back from his duties as CEO, with his daughter Stephanie McMahon acting as CEO in his place.

His son-in-law Paul Levesque, also known as Triple H, also recently returned to his position as Executive Vice President of Talent Relations.

Vince McMahon's company is still making investments in outside projects. One of their latest branches into the world of professional sports, more specifically, is Lacrosse. According to Bloomberg, the company is investing in the Premier Lacrosse League, alongside a venture fund owned by Kevin Durrant of NBA fame:

"WWE and Durant’s Thirty Five Ventures join a roster of well-known names across sports, entertainment and media that have backed the lacrosse circuit since its inception in 2018," Bloomberg published.
