Ari Emmanuel has proven to be the ultimate chess player and he has played Vince McMahon like a fiddle every step of the way. He played the perfect role of friend first and then when the job was done sidelining the friends that has been causing problems for the betterment of the business. Ari Emmanuel is the CEO of Endeavour which means he is the boss of WWE. He has played Vince McMahon so bad that Vince cannot do anything about it and he can just sit and watch
Let’s talk about how Ari Emmanuel played the perfect game
Ari Emmanuel just checkmated Vince McMahon
When the deal was first going on then Ari Emmanuel showed it like WWE is nothing without Vince McMahon and he is needed in this new company. Vince McMahon saw the efforts that Ari Emmanuel was putting in and he knew that this would be the best deal for him to make sure that he would be here in WWE for his whole life. And then WWE was bought for a whopping $9.3 Billon and Vince McMahon has to be given the credit for taking a $1 million company in 1982 to close to $10 billion in 2023. Such a huge jump in 40 years is mind boggling and no wonder Vince McMahon is known as a genius. However in the last few years he was losing reality and therefore he had to be sidelined.
Ari Emmanuel when the deal was done did an interview with Vince McMahon and he said that he was the one who convinced Vince McMahon to stay in WWE and he made him the Executive Chairman of TKO. However as soon as the listing on NYSE was done and the company was official then his tone started changing. Recently the stock of TKO fell and in an interview Ari Emmanuel publicly said that Vince McMahon was one of the reasons that the stock fell. This is a huge deal as the owner of a company is blaming his Executive Chairman for the drop in stock. As soon as this news got out , the WWE fans got extremely happy because they know what this meant. The time for Vince McMahon in this company is limited and he will be phased out of TKO.
And if that was not enough, credible reports started coming out that it was Ari Emmanuel who decided to give the full creative control of WWE TV to Triple H because he believes that his executives should be given full authority to perform their roles to the best possible extent. This was a bigger blow to Vince McMahon because he thought he would have a say in the WWE creative but Ari Emmanuel has decided that Vince McMahon will not be involved in creative and that it will be fully the vision of Triple H and Shawn Michaels in NXT. The WWE fans who did not like Ari Emmanuel that much when this deal was first made have now suddenly fallen in love with him as to how he has taken Vince McMahon out of WWE phase wise and soon he will be fully out and Stephanie McMahon will be back.
