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.
He’s [McMahon] not starting a wrestling promotion, I can tell you that. He’s starting an entertainment company, yeah. There was stuff floating around yesterday of him starting a wrestling company and those close to him say, ‘No, that is not happening.
McMahon transformed WWE from a regional operation into a global sports entertainment powerhouse during his decades of leadership. His extensive experience and business acumen in professional wrestling would make him a valuable asset for any promotion, making the rumors particularly credible until this recent clarification.
The 79-year-old executive has faced significant controversies over the past two years. While contending with his ongoing legal battle against former WWE employee Janel Grant, McMahon was recently spotted attending the 2025 Super Bowl.
