Vince McMahon is reportedly creating an entertainment venture rather than returning to professional wrestling. Information shared on Wrestling Observer Radio clarifies McMahon’s direction following widespread speculation about potential new wrestling endeavors.
McMahon resigned from TKO in January 2024 and has maintained distance from WWE operations since his departure. Recent rumors suggested the veteran promoter might launch a competing wrestling organization, but sources close to the situation have now refuted this possibility.
Dave Meltzer addressed these claims directly during a recent Wrestling Observer Radio broadcast.
