When Vince McMahon made his way back to WWE in January, he did so with the intention of leading the company into a sale.
That sale was officially confirmed last month, when the Endeavor deal was finalised, and WWE and UFC were merged to form the TKO Group.
Following the Endeavor deal, McMahon’s influence on WWE creative has been drastically reduced, with Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque now in charge of 99% of creative for the show.
Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Triple H discussed the takeover, and how it feels to be working under the new landscape.
He said:
“I can’t tell you how excited I am. Working with Endeavor, it’s next level. The flywheel for all the things they touch–if you were trying to build that on your own, it’s taking you a decade. For us, now, it fast tracks everything we’re doing.
“Endeavor, UFC, they’re the best in the business at what they do. They put things on a different level of professionalism, and we fit right into that. The future is so bright because of the opportunities Endeavor is going to provide for us and the synergies that are there. We’re going to take this to a whole new level.”
Vince McMahon recently sold 8,400,000 shares of TKO stock just days after his presence was publicly listed as a risk factor that could have adverse impacts on business.
