Here’s What Kevin Dunn Told WWE Talent About Vince McMahon Returning

WWE

An update has emerged regarding the WWE talent meeting held before SmackDown tonight (January 13) involving Kevin Dunn.

The meeting was led by Paul Levesque (Triple H) who told talent that Vince McMahon is back in WWE to lead a potential sale.

Levesque also said that McMahon won’t be re-entering the creative team, and although he “may have discussions” with McMahon about creative, Levesque is the one that makes the final decisions.

Fightful Select has provided an update, noting that Kevin Dunn also spoke to talent.

According to Fightful, Dunn told talent that he’s worked with McMahon for 40 years and McMahon “hasn’t said a peep” to him about making any changes.

Dunn pretty much reiterated Levesque’s points in what was described as a “calm down meeting” to ease talent concerns about McMahon potentially getting back involved in things.

However, it’s worth remembering that WWE did hold a meeting with employees (not talent) last week and the message was “business as usual” and that no management would be changing, and then Stephanie McMahon resigned just days later, so it seems even what’s being said in the meetings is a fluid situation and things may change.

Dave Meltzer reported in the Wrestling Observer earlier today (January 13) that Nick Khan, WWE’s new sole CEO, has been the one “running” the company and “making final decisions”.

The Observer also noted that McMahon has not been back at his office nor at any shows since his return to the Board.

On January 6, using his power as majority owner, Vince McMahon put himself and former WWE presidents George Barrios and Michelle Wilson back on the company’s Board of Directors, disposing of JoEllen Lyons Dillon, Jeffrey R Speed, and Alan M Wexler in the process.

McMahon had stated that his intention was to facilitate a sale of the company.

He changed bylaws to ensure that no sale or media rights deal could be completed without his approval.

Upon McMahon’s return, two further Board members resigned of their own volition, those being Man Jit Singh – who was the one heading up the Board’s investigation into McMahon – and Ignace Lahoud.

Stephanie McMahon then resigned from her role as co-CEO and Chairwoman and her position on the Board on January 10, as Vince McMahon was elected Executive Chairman.

There has been much speculation that Vince McMahon was looking to sell to a party that would commit to keeping him in charge of the company despite the multiple sexual assault allegations that have surfaced in the past year that led to his initial ‘retirement’ in July.
