Vince announced himself as Executive Chairman of the Board for WWE.  Claims only he can guide WWE in contract negotiations that are coming to get max value.  

Board can reject this, but Vince will then stop all negotiations he says.

He never left.

He saw Top Dolla botch that dive and just couldn’t take it any longer.

Greatest heel that ever lived.

There goes the pushes for Bayley, Damage CTRL, and the mid-card titles.  And perhaps Trips's Infinite Gauntlets.

Please god, Hades or whoever...


Please Take Vince will you...

Does this mean I'm gonna end up hating the product again?

Just watch the NXT product, particularly the women's division and you'll be alright. We lost Mandy Rose but we're getting loaded for some talent to come on in, particularly the lady in my avatar. 

And @aaron it was the Bronson Reed hiring that did it. Vince saw his audit and saw he has to pay that useless shit a 6 figure contract and said that's enough. 

Honestly if I was booking this, I would have Vince come in at #30 and just sit and taunt the fans on the mic and then come in and throw the final guy out and win the Royal Rumble. Vince defeating Roman Reigns for the titles is what you end Night 2 on.

Great time for everyone to flock to New Japan Pro Wrestling.

We do need more NXT Japan discussions going on so I hope Lionheart is right.

A lot of people seem to be shrugging this off but this is massive. This is some Succession shit. Vince is going to either completely fuck everyone on the board, Triple H, and his own family, or the board will somehow not believe his bullshit and manage to keep him out. Either way this is going to tank the WWE’s value (I think) and make a lot of lawyers insanely rich.

Good lord. Are people actually happy about this?

I don't disagree with Todd, but it just seems weird to me. The guy just can't let go - and clearly needs to. Why does he seem hell bent on destroying what he created? He can't honestly think he's the best thing for the product? It's been proven lately by many who are finally enjoying the product again, myself included.

Vince said it, some 20 years ago.

"If anyone's gonna kill what I created, I'm gonna do it!"

Here's hoping for a heart attack. Fingers crossed.

Belief is Vince is back to sell.  WWE sells, the board is gone, and management likely replaced.  

Tony Khan should buy WWE and bring things full circle with JJ firing Vince.

It would never get approved in a million years but if it went up for sale and Tony Khan was the highest bidder I think I would explode.

Hey everyone it is safe to come to the WWE the crazy old man is gone.

TK would literally piss himself on air with excitement announcing he bought WWE.

People are misunderstanding this. He’s coming back to oversee the next set of media rights deals and a potential sale. He isn’t going to format Raw.

WWE stock is arguably undervalued anyway given what they could get in the next set of rights deals. All this movement at the top just increases the chance of a sale and will send the stock price higher. When Vince resigned the stock went up, not because shareholders gave a shit whether Vince or HHH had the book, but because Vince resigning while he was majority shareholder increases the chance of a sale. Same deal now he wants to come back to oversee business strategy.

That's what it seemed like to me. Nowhere does it suggest that Vince would be doing any form of creative.

WWE net worth is 5.24 billion, I doubt they find an buyer,.

So Vince is officially back on the board to oversee a potential sale. PWI is reporting it has triggered an “all hands on deck” meeting at WWE HQ today.

Could be an interesting day!

Just imagine how bored Tony would get with his existing toys if he bought a whole toy store!
