A WWE legend has revealed that they are once again ‘in talks’ with the company following Vince McMahon’s departure.

Vince McMahon resigned from his role as a TKO executive back in January following the sex trafficking and abuse lawsuit filed against him, John Laurinaitis and the company.

Since his resignation, McMahon has now sold the majority of his stock in TKO, with him now officially having no power in the company.

Following McMahon’s departure and the beginning of a ‘new era’ under Triple H, Nick Khan and TKO, WWE Hall of Famer Jesse Ventura revealed on The Vanguard that he and WWE have been ‘in talks’.

He said:

“I will tell you this. Now that wrestling has chosen this new direction, shall we call it, Jesse Ventura is in talks with them. But, again, it required them going in this new direction. And I hope you get what I’m saying about the new direction. The direction the company is now going was good enough for Jesse Ventura and the WWE to begin talking again.”

Ventura was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2004.
