5 Things that could happen if Vince McMahon buys WWE back

Vince McMahon is the former chairman of WWE, but the Stamford-based promotion is currently working under TKO's umbrella, with Triple H running the show creatively. The Game is the Chief Content Officer in the company and has already pulled many strings under his regime.

However, there have recently been some conversations going around about Vince potentially buying the sports entertainment juggernaut again. Though the company is not for sale now, anything can happen in the business of professional wrestling.

If Vince can buy WWE again, he will indeed bring massive changes to the entire landscape. In this article, we will discuss five things that could happen if Vince McMahon buys World Wrestling Entertainment back from TKO.

#5. Triple H could be removed as head of creative

The first thing the 79-year-old could do is remove Triple H as the Chief Content Officer. It's most likely that Vince would either take control into his own hands or appoint someone on his behalf. The reason for removing the King of Kings is simple: Vince and Triple H have completely different methods of booking.

The former chairman was used to focusing more on the megastars who earned him the most money, whereas the CCO's booking is more centered around creating new stars and pushing mid-card talents.

This is why this change is most likely to take place if Vince McMahon is back in power in the company.

#4. Brock Lesnar may finally return to WWE

Brock Lesnar has been absent from the Stamford-based promotion since SummerSlam 2023. This is due to the legal issues surrounding his name. Due to this, Lesnar is not getting clearance from WWE's legal team.

However, Lesnar is one of Vince's favorites, and it wouldn't be a surprise if he brought The Beast back to television shortly after buying the company back.

#3. John Cena may turn babyface on his retirement tour

John Cena turned heel at Elimination Chamber 2025, which is marked as one of the most shocking moments in the history of WWE. In the past, there were pitches for Cena's villainous turn, but Vince McMahon was against it and never wanted the Franchise Player to turn heel due to his impressive merchandise sales.

If Mr. McMahon can buy back the company before the end of Cena's farewell tour, the WWE Universe may witness the Cenation Leader turning into a babyface star once again. This could also be a more poetic way to end Cena's legendary career in the squared circle.

#2. Shane McMahon returns to power

Shane McMahon is the real-life son of Vince McMahon but is currently seen nowhere under the creative control of Triple H. But if the former chairman regains the company, Shane might return to power.

Also, there is a strong possibility of him getting an on-screen role as an authority figure on either RAW or SmackDown. He's played the SmackDown Commissioner role in the past and was appointed the position by his father.

#1. Roman Reigns may become WWE Champion again

Roman Reigns already has a record-breaking reign as Undisputed WWE Champion. However, it's crucial to note that even before the Tribal Chief gimmick, Vince McMahon was the one who pushed Roman hard as a babyface star, too.

This shows that the Boss is already in favor of the Original Tribal Chief. Hence, if Vince McMahon buys the company back, fans may see Roman Reigns becoming the World Champion again.

The Original Tribal Chief is one of the biggest draws in history, and there is no doubt that crowning him champion again will be a money-making move.
