I don’t know how that works. What is considered ‘close’ and who does that leave in charge?
Prichard, yes, ‘close to Vince’ has to include Triple H, though, and how far down does that go? Does that mean all of ‘his guys?’ Who is running creative at that point? Shawn? Or is he gone too? I wouldn’t even know who else knows how to do it. Heyman? Jeremy Borash?I would guess Prichard needs to watch his back. Dunne would have been another but he already left.

They’re alluded to as people who may have known and looked past it in the lawsuit as members of the board of directors. I don’t know everything they could’ve done, but depending on what they knew and when they knew it, it’s definitely possible that he, Steph, and Nick Khan could become persona non grataHHH has always been painted as outside of Vince's inner circle and he voted along with Steph and Nick Khan to kick Vince out.
I don't think he is who the report is talking about.
Apparently there is some lesser known names that have been close to Vince for a long while, left the company in 2022 when he was forced out, and came back when he forced his way back in.
HHH and Shawn aren't going anywhere unless it comes out they were directly involved in this stuff. They are too well liked inside the company.
Hell there is an expectation now that Steph might come back in some capacity now that Vince is gone.
I think it means the board members Vince took back who were previously fired/released. I think everyone you mentioned is safe.Prichard, yes, ‘close to Vince’ has to include Triple H, though, and how far down does that go?

Did I miss something. Where is Brock being potentially referred to in the report?Are we certain that it is Brock that they are referring to? It wouldn't be out of character for Riddle to be involved with some seedy sexual shit
The former UFC champion.Did I miss something. Where is Brock being potentially referred to in the report?
I had to click on the link to read that correct? If so that’s probably why I missed that obvious part.The former UFC champion.
I'm thinking TKO wants nothing to do with ANY McMahonSteph return in 3-2-...
There’s a lot to unpack here
HHH, Khan, and Steph all voted (with the rest of the board, it was unanimous) to clear Vince and let him return. All of them knew about this and none of them contacted the victim during their sham investigation even though they all knew who she was.HHH has always been painted as outside of Vince's inner circle and he voted along with Steph and Nick Khan to kick Vince out.

Follow the money
Didn't they vote to oust him the last time? IIRC, he had the voting power to overrule the board.A reminder:
-Vince still personally owns 34% of TKO
-his estranged wife and daughter still own small percentages
-his son, even though he hasn't been on TV in a long time, is still getting paid as a performer
-his son-in-law and his lackeys who 100% knew exactly what he was doing are still running the company
He may not have the authority to force himself back into an active role anymore but he's still collecting his share of every single dollar that moves through this company and his stink is still all over everything.

This will still be news for hardcore wrestling fans in coming days and weeks. But we've gotten the wrap it up signal
He "retired" last time and then they voted to allow him to return. He had the power to overrule the board, but only by unilaterally replacing all of them and he didn't do that. They all just caved and let him come back to save their own jobs.Didn't they vote to oust him the last time? IIRC, he had the voting power to overrule the board.
I don't recall it going like that:He "retired" last time and then they voted to allow him to return. He had the power to overrule the board, but only by unilaterally replacing all of them and he didn't do that. They all just caved and let him come back to save their own jobs.
In response, the board suggested that McMahon's return would not be in the best interest of WWE because of ongoing investigations into his conduct by the U.S. Attorney's Office and SEC.
There are multiple layers to this whole affair. Earlier this week, McMahon was named executive chairman of WWE’s board of directors. Soon after, Stephanie McMahon resigned from the company, leaving Nick Khan as the sole CEO. The board has changed significantly. And it was no surprise McMahon was unanimously voted to be reappointed as executive chairman, as any potential opposition is no longer part of the board.
The board attempted to thwart McMahon’s return but clearly was unsuccessful in its attempt. And McMahon did not come back alone. He elected two familiar faces in George Barrios and Michelle Wilson, who were unceremoniously removed as WWE co-presidents and board members in February 2020, to return to the board.
I believe they did.Didn't they vote to oust him the last time? IIRC, he had the voting power to overrule the board.
This has actually been on my local news. The local Fox station in Philly ran it in their open as soon as Smackdown ended.
