Vince McMahon Reportedly Felt Betrayed by Former WWE Board of Directors for Conducting an Investigation on Him Prior to His Voluntary Retirement

Recent reports unveil the turbulent circumstances surrounding Vince McMahon's 2022 retirement from WWE amid sexual misconduct allegations. McMahon, the charismatic wrestling mogul, felt betrayed by the board for investigating him, adding a surprising twist to the story.

Vince McMahon viewed the investigation as an act of disloyalty:

One intriguing aspect of this saga is McMahon's belief that the WWE board's investigation amounted to disloyalty, despite their duty. Sources close to an ousted director emphasized McMahon's high loyalty expectations, which may have influenced his resignation as WWE CEO and chairman in July last year, straining his relationship with the board and causing tensions within the organization.

WWE’s board of directors wanted McMahon to resign:

McMahon's deep bond with WWE unraveled further when the board requested his resignation. Despite his decades-long dedication to the Stamford-based promotion, he reluctantly agreed, stating, "OK, do what you need." This marked a challenging moment for McMahon, ending an era and raising questions about his return.

McMahon's triumphant return and the formation of TKO:

In January of this year, McMahon made a resilient return, promising to facilitate the company's sale, which he fulfilled. The WWE-UFC merger has created TKO, where McMahon serves as the Executive Chairman, signifying a major shift in wrestling and his lasting commitment to the sport he molded.
