Vince McMahon has reportedly been in contact with two major WWE Superstars since departure
Vince McMahon resigned from WWE's parent company, TKO Group Holdings, earlier this year following accusations of sexual misconduct from a former employee. New details have been revealed on the World Wrestling Entertainment co-founder and his relationship with two top stars.
McMahon vowed to fight the accusations and has said he was pressured out of TKO. The 78-year-old billionaire has been dealing with his legal issues, but he's also said to be enjoying life after WWE and TKO. The former ECW World Champion recently cashed out in a major way as well.
McMahon has been in touch with two of wrestling's biggest names since resigning from TKO: John Cena and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. NBC News adds that Rock's spokesperson declined to comment, while Cena's representative did not respond to requests for comments.
It was noted that The Final Boss and The Face That Runs The Place are both represented by the William Morris Endeavor agency, which is owned by Endeavor.
The Rock has not publicly addressed McMahon, but he did thank the companies after signing a new WWE deal and joining TKO's Board earlier this year. Cena discussed Vince on The Howard Stern Show and made controversial comments that were ripped by fans and wrestlers.
When Vince McMahon could potentially compete with WWE
Could Vince McMahon compete with the pro wrestling company he built into a sports entertainment juggernaut? This has been one of the biggest questions coming out of McMahon's resignation from WWE's parent company, TKO Group Holdings.
McMahon fueled the speculation and rumors by recently cashing in his TKO stock. In regards to Vince possibly starting a new pro wrestling company, Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics has confirmed that he has a non-compete clause with TKO.
The non-compete was included in McMahon's March 2023 employment agreement. If he were to get back into the business, the 78-year-old would have to wait 12 months from the date of his departure, which was first reported on January 26 of this year.
McMahon was not present for WrestleMania XL earlier this month. This was the first 'Mania in company history that had no input or influence from the billionaire co-founder.
