"I have also pledged to accept the findings and outcome of the investigation, whatever they are." Stephanie McMahon, the 45-year-old daughter of McMahon who had recently stepped away from the company, returned last month to assume her father’s duties. According to a July 8 report, a former WWE wrestler claimed that McMahon coerced her into performing oral sex and then chose to not renew her contract in 2005 when she rejected further sexual advances. McMahon’s on-screen appearances have become more sporadic in recent years. I would like to thank my family for mightily contributing to our success, and I would also like to thank all of our past and present superstars and employees for their dedication and passion for our brand. Most importantly, I would like to thank our fans for allowing us into your homes every week and being your choice of entertainment.”

Vince McMahon, WWE's chairman and CEO, announced his retirement Friday, following a sexual misconduct probe the company began in April.

Based on his real life, the persona was known for villainous storylines, most famously opposite Austin. McMahon was at the helm of WWE for decades, leading it to millions of viewers and more than $1 billion in revenue last year, a first for the company.

McMahon said his daughter, Stephanie, who was named interim CEO and chairperson last month, will serve as chairperson and share CEO duties with Nick Khan, who joined the company in 2020. But then the newspaper reported that McMahon had agreed to pay the significantly larger sum of $12 million US.

À quoi ressemblera l'après Vince McMahon? - TVA Sports (TVA Sports)

La nouvelle de l'année, voire de la décennie, est tombée hier alors que la WWE a annoncé la retraite de son PDG, Vincent Kennedy McMahon.

Son lien était fort avec Vince. Le père de Kevin, Dennis, a longtemps travaillé pour le père de Vince. Kevin est à la WWE depuis 1984 et jamais Vince ne s’en serait débarrassé. Mais Dunn est de la vieille école, têtu et ancré dans de vieilles mentalités. Ses relations avec Stéphanie ne sont pas les meilleures, apparemment. Est-ce que le départ de Vince pourrait précipiter la vente de la compagnie à un conglomérat comme NBC, Disney ou autre? À court terme, la meilleure personne pour le poste est Bruce Prichard. Il était le numéro deux de Vince à ce niveau et a l’expérience nécessaire pour prendre les rênes dès maintenant. Auriez-vous vu Véronique Cloutier encourager son public à crier «Merci Guy»? Poser la question c’est y répondre, et c’est pourtant ce qu’on a vu à SmackDown. D’annoncer la retraite de McMahon, en fin d’après-midi, après la fermeture de la bourse, n’est pas un hasard. L’émission journalistique Real Sports, présentée, à HBO, est en train de travailler sur un épisode spécial en lien avec ces allégations. A-t-on eu vent de ce qui s’en venait et finalement, a-t-on convaincu McMahon qu’il était mieux, pour le bien de la compagnie, qu’il quitte maintenant? Shawn Michaels, l’un de meilleurs amis de Levesque, occupe déjà ces fonctions à NXT. Je lisais récemment qu’il a eu une conversation avec Kevin Nash, dans laquelle Nash lui faisait savoir que les gars et les filles devaient ralentir le rythme. Ce qui n’est pas le cas de Prichard. Et en 2022, un PDG d’une compagnie valant des milliards et cotée à la bourse ne peut s’en tirer indemne, encore moins en demeurant avec la compagnie. Tout d’abord l’Undertaker. Je l’ai souvent dit, c’est le plus beau personnage jamais créé par Vince. Et ensuite, son véritable héritage, WrestleMania. Il a amené la lutte à un autre niveau. McMahon a commencé à s’impliquer dans la compagnie de son père, Vincent James McMahon, en 1969, où il a occupé plusieurs postes : commentateur, annonceur maison, intervieweur et promoteur. Publiées par le Wall Street Journal, ces allégations avancent que Vince McMahon aurait payé plus de 12 millions $ pour des ententes de non-divulgation à quatre femmes, dont une pour la somme de 7,5 millions $.
