Vince McMahon has declared his interest in returning to WWE as the Executive Chairman. Fans on Twitter erupted in a frenzy upon learning about the news.
Vince McMahon retired from WWE earlier in 2022 after reports surfaced about his sexual misdemeanors. Moreover, the 77-year old was suspected of using the company's money as hush money to keep the matter suppressed.
The Wall Street Journal made the hush money allegations, following which Vince McMahon retired. This led to Triple H and Nick Khan rising to the very top, with the Game taking over the creative duties for the company's television programming.
The Stamford-based promotion's television rights deals are the biggest contributor to the company's revenues. Vince's desire to return revolves around the upcoming negotiations.

The biggest wrestling promoter of all time has majority voting power through his ownership of WWE’s Class-B stock. He informed the company that he's electing himself and two former co-presidents and directors, Michelle Wilson and George Barrios, to the company's board.
