According to Sportskeeda's own Tom Colohue, there have been major talks over Vince McMahon and his role in WWE. One source told Colohue that while McMahon doesn't want to step down or let go, he knows that it's the right move and that he has a lot of faith in his team.

Moreover, he has three very important figures for three different shows - Paul Heyman for RAW, Eric Bischoff for SmackDown Live and Triple H for NXT.

From what it looks like, if he doesn't fully step down, he'll be overseeing the happenings of WWE at most. XFL seems to be his next long-term commitment and we hope it's true because it's time for a change.
