Vince McMahon resigned from WWE last year before coming back
After a couple of Wall Street Journal reports alleging that Vince had paid hush money to WWE employees, the board launched an investigation into the matter. Not long after, Vince McMahon announced that he was leaving WWE via Twitter.
However, earlier this year, Mr. McMahon reassumed the role of the executive chairman of WWE. Since then, WWE has undergone major changes. After signing a deal with Endeavour, WWE was merged with UFC, forming TKO. It has since been reported that McMahon would even have some power in UFC's managerial decisions.
