The pro wrestling world continues to reverberate from the news that Vince McMahon is back on the Board of Directors for WWE, just five months after retiring from the company in the wake of a scandal that first broke last June. Over the last 24 hours, one of the things that was made very clear is that McMahon believes the time is now to explore a sale of WWE, something that as majority shareholder, he was unwilling to allow if he was not back in a position of power.
Some wrestling journalists have expressed a belief that McMahon may have lined up a prospective buyer during his time away, returning now because he has enough interest to push forward with a deal. That’s led to a natural follow-up query: Who are the most likely companies to acquire WWE?
