4: Donald Trump buys Raw and then sells it back
It was the year 2009 and Vince and ‘The Donald’ were at it again. Vince had sold his company’s flagship show Monday Night Raw to Donald Trump in storyline. Trump in his usual Trumpian fashion promised to do things that had never been done before. This included a commercial free episode of Raw and promising fans in attendance for one episode of Raw that he’d reimburse them.
WWE proceeded to release a press release about Trump buying Raw as legit, even though it was a storyline, and mainstream outlets picked up the story which led to WWE’s stock taking a hit. This led to Mr. McMahon buying Raw back for double the price he sold it for, in storyline, which is one of the amazing deals that ‘The Donald’ will probably brag about.
