WWE ends £18m probe into misconduct allegations against ex-CEO Vince McMahon

The WWE has ended its £18million probe into alleged misconduct against former CEO Vince McMahon. The 77-year-old retired earlier this summer after 40 years after purchasing from his father, Vincent J. McMahon, in 1982.

McMahon's daughter, Stephanie and Nick Khan took over as co-CEO's with son-in-law Paul Levesque [wrestling name Triple H] taking over day-to-day duties as chief content officer.

Earlier this summer it was alleged by The Wall Street Journal that McMahon had paid out more than $20m (£17.9m) to a number of women who had been affiliated with the company over claims of misconduct. The WWE had announced that they would investigate the matter of the allegations as McMahon had stepped down and retired just days later. Now, however, that investigation has come to a close.
