Add as a preferred source on Google Vince McMahon could return to pro wrestling as the owner of a new company — at least that’s how Jim Ross sees it.
During a recent episode of Grilling JR, the WWE Hall of Famer said he can’t imagine his old boss staying away from the wrestling business entirely, especially since it’s the industry where McMahon built his entire career.
“He ain’t out of the game. Vince isn’t out of the game. That’s just not his makeup.”
“One would assume it’ll have maybe something to do with wrestling because that’s where he made his way. The world’s open to him. It just doesn’t seem like a lot of things interest him. He likes wrestling, and I think that’s where I’d see him headed.”
After Ross ruled out a possible move to AEW, Conrad Thompson asked whether buying TNA, or another already-established company, could be the path. Ross responded:
“That’s possible. It’s possible. Yeah, of course it’s possible. Money won’t be an object. He’s got the cash to do whatever the hell he wants, at least that’s what I think.”
The idea isn’t coming out of nowhere. McMahon founded 14TH & I, an investment firm focused on sports, media and entertainment, with a stated interest in majority acquisitions. In 2025, he tried to buy control of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, but company president David Feldman refused to give up control.
“I can’t see him migrating too far from the barn where all the animals are. That would be my guess. That’s all it is, is a guess—that he’s going to be doing something that allows him to display his product knowledge.”
“God almighty, he’s got plenty of product knowledge. He should be fine.”
To be clear, Ross wasn’t sharing any inside information — just his own opinion. TNA remains owned by Anthem Sports & Entertainment.
