WWE has seen significant changes in its landscape over the last few years. World Wrestling Entertainment began as a family-owned business in 1950, founded by Vincent J. McMahon. It was later bought by his son, Vince McMahon Jr., in 1982, and he ran the company till 2022.

The creative reigns were then taken over by his son-in-law and former wrestler, Paul 'Triple H' Levesque. The company was ultimately sold in 2023 after Endeavor Group Holdings acquired a 51% stake in WWE, leaving the minority share with the McMahon family.
Triple H now runs the company's weekly shows, serving as the Chief Content Officer, while Vince McMahon is no longer in charge of the WWE. Talking about Vince McMahon's time on the latest episode of BroDown on Sportskeeda WrestleBinge, Dutch Mantell recalled the former owner's approach to handling injuries during matches.

"WWE has an agent in charge of each match. If something like that happens in a match, I will say one thing for Vince McMahon, he would ream that agent out. He wouldn't ream the talent out, he would ream the agent out. Because I've seen a lot of dangerous stuff in the ring and one guy wants to do it, wants to get his stuff in and the other guy, he wants to take it because, you know, he wants to cooperate," Mantell said.

Faiz is a WWE writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling. He is a BBA graduate who is passionate about sports and wants to make a career in that field. This passion led to a postgraduate degree in Journalism, which helped him pivot into becoming a sports writer. When writing, he puts the utmost importance on accuracy and thorough research.
Faiz has six years of work experience across four companies. He started his career with Zomato and then moved to Amazon. He shifted to becoming a football writer at TV9 Digital and is now with Sportskeeda. He covered the Wrestling Xtreme Mania event in Gurgaon in 2025, where he had the opportunity to interview Raj The Maharaja, fka Jinder Mahal. At the same event, he also got quick interviews with former WWE Superstar Dijak and Japanese Joshi legend Emi Sakura.
When it comes to his favourite wrestlers, Faiz has two names in mind. He loved to watch Triple H before the current WWE CCO retired, and he is a huge fan of Roman Reigns. Being a loyal fan since the Tribal Chief's SHIELD days, Faiz credits Roman's mic skills and unmatched in-ring storytelling for his mega success. When he was young, one in-ring story left a lasting impression on his mind and eventually got him hooked on WWE. That match was Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair at WrestleMania 24. Apart from that, he is also a fan of RAW.
When Faiz is not writing for Sportskeeda, he loves to keep up with other sports. He is an avid cricket and football fan, a huge gamer, and loves playing some RPGs on the PlayStation.
