Vince McMahon intends “comeback” at WWE, blames bad advice for leaving

Dec 13, 2022 - by Colin Vassallo

In the same Wall Street Journal story that revealed another allegation against Vince McMahon and ex-referee Rita Chatterton asking for an $11.75 million settlement, it was said that McMahon intends to “make a comeback” at WWE.

Sources close to McMahon have indicated that he’s convinced that he received bad advice from friends close to him to step down from his role and retire, ending his 40-year run as the head of the company.

“He now believes the allegations and investigations would have blown over had he stayed,” the Wall Street Journal quotes sources as saying.

McMahon stepped down in July after the first allegation was exposed by the same Wall Street Journal and was replaced by his daughter Stephanie as Chairwoman and his CEO role was split between Stephanie and Nick Khan. Paul “Triple H” Levesque took over the role of creative.

WWE has thrived without McMahon since his departure in July, with many talking about a better atmosphere backstage and a better direction of the product overall.

    Vince can go to hell. WWE is on the up without him.

    I don’t think it’s up to him! In my opinion WWE is better without him, he had his time!

    All the planning for Wrestlemania starts next month. There’s no way he’d allow himself to not be involved. What’ll be interesting is if he stays after March/April when the show-of-shows is all done, though.

    Vince should have retired years ago. But his ego wont let him stay away. The fact the product has improved since he left probably has him really pissed off.

    God no. Just no. I know he owns 51% but for Christ sakes, someone or many someones need to talk some sense into him. If he does return I guarantee he’s coming back to kill his own company on purpose with the mentality of I’ll show them if they think they’re better than me….” Just God please NO!
