He said there will be a board of directors, but Khan is most likely to be at the helm of things unless they appoint someone new.

"It's kind of a board of directors thing, but you know, probably (Nick Khan replacing Vince McMahon), yeah. Unless they went and hired somebody else from the outside, but probably Nick Khan, yes," revealed Dave Meltzer.

Fans often wondered who would succeed Vince McMahon as WWE head. Though it was initially believed that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon would lead the charge, it looks like Nick Khan will be the man to step in.

Nick Khan could be a direct replacement for Vince McMahon for corporate affairs, but someone like Triple H will head the creative department.
