This is one article I have wanted to write about since it happened because this is one of the biggest wrestling stories in the past 2 decades and no one ever thought that this day would be a reality so soon. This is one of the biggest regime changes in sports history because it has gone from one man who controlled WWE for 40 years and built this company to where it is today and now his daughter and son in law along with Nick Khan are running WWE now. I was shocked when all of this started months ago and we will talk about what happened and what to expect next from this new regime.
This all happening would have been a dream just as soon as 2 months back but a few months back a story broke in the Wall Street Journal about Vince McMahon paying hush money to women to buy their silence and they signed Non Disclosure Agreements as well. When this story first broke it obviously shook the Wrestling world and everyone wondered what the reaction of WWE would be. Vince stepped down temporarily as chairman and CEO of WWE and Stephanie McMahon was put in charge. We will talk about this in detail below.
The fall of Vince McMahon
I never thought I would be writing this because this man has braved it all for 40 years and nothing has stopped him so when this story first broke everyone thought nothing would happen abs they were right in thinking so, but a few weeks later another story dropped and it said that he paud $12 million to 4 different women as Hush Money and it got worse and everyone was wondering what was next. Suddenly last Friday Vince McMahon posts a tweet announcing his retirement and Stephanie McMahon and Nick Khan were named Co- CEOs of WWE and this news broke the Wrestling world totally. Everyone was shocked that it had actually happened but a few days later WWE said that it accounted for $14.5 million in extra money as personal money that Vince McMahon paid and it was clear why this all was done.
The rise of the new regime
Triple H had a serious heart issue last year and almost died and now he is not only the Head of Talent Relations in WWE but a few days ago he was named the new Head of WWE creative as well so he now holds 2 of the most important posts as far as WWE talent is concerned and all the wrestlers were extremely happy about Triple H and the chances of former wrestlers returning to the company have increased and the creative direction is interesting now.
Stephanie McMahon was born into this business and she must have learned everything from her dad Vince McMahon and she would have hoped to reach this level one day but now this fast so she will learn in this new role as Chairwoman and Co- CEO of WWE and I am extremely happy for her as she does a lot for WWE. She will excel in this new role as head of the WWE.
The biggest gainer from all of this is Nick Khan as he has been with WWE for just 2 years and now he is the Co- CEO of WWE as well and he will most probably look into the financial side of WWE and Stephanie and Triple H will look into the Wrestling and creative side of WWE so a perfect partnership. It will be interesting to see how these 3 work together as a team after the 1 man show for the last 40 years.
What to expect from the new regime
There is a lot of excitement among the fans if WWE and the Wrestlers themselves about This new regime because they believe that Triple H and Stephanie McMahon care for them at a personal level and they will he there for them always and now that Triple H is head of creative and talent relations so we can expect new creative direction for WWE in the near future and a lot of wrestlers wanting to work for WWE and Sasha Banks and Naomi could also return along with the others. And with Nick Khan seeing the financial side of things they will be able to grow more fast and it is genuinely a true change in WWE after almost 4 decades and as a big WWE fan I am very thankful to Vince McMahon for making me a WWE fan but I am excited as to how this new regime takes it forward.
