5 Reasons Why Vince McMahon Won’t Let Triple H Take Over Anytime Soon

#1 The prospect of selling WWE

As far fetched as it may seem, the prospect of someone other than Vince McMahon possibly selling the company he built may be too much for him to bear.

Rumors have sprouted up on a recurring basis that WWE leadership could conceivably sell off the company to a larger corporate entity like Disney or a major television network. Nothing concrete has emerged and the ideas are still abstract enough not to take them too seriously.

For now, though, Vince McMahon retains the rights to head off any sale or merger he wouldn’t feel comfortable with. It’s highly unlikely his successors would do anything rash or sell during McMahon’s lifetime. However, the sheer possibility that they could may be enough to further hold up McMahon from feeling comfortable about letting go of top dog status with WWE. If his life’s work were to be sold, surely he’d want to make that choice, not to mention profit from it. More likely, though, he would want to head off the company falling into any other hands after he worked so hard, for so long to build, evolve, and preserve it.
