But coming close to his 80s, Vince McMahon might have to think about stepping down the throne in the future. Though he is still going strong and would love to continue for as long as possible, there have been several rumors about WWE preparing for a sale down the road.

Recently, during an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, Pat McAfee addressed this situation to Vince McMahon. In reply, Mr. McMahon said, “I don’t think about it a lot.”

The WWE chairman claimed if you have built something, you want it to continue on and prosper and grow, with or without a family member.

This is really interesting to hear. While most people think Vince’s successor might be someone from the McMahon family, it might not necessarily be the case after what Vince McMahon said during the interview on The Pat McAfee Show.
