It has finally happened. After months of uncertainty, WWE has been sold to the Endeavour group. The same conglomerate that owns the MMA juggernaut UFC. Two of the biggest names in combat sports come under a single umbrella, a thought that would excite many. And Vince McMahon has recently commented that the sale of the Stamford-based promotion would have gone ahead even if the scandal that marred him wouldn’t happen.

The former boss had to step away from all his active roles last year due to a string of hush-money scandals that rocked the world last year. He has since managed to engineer a comeback to the WWE board of directors. McMahon recently remarked that his brainchild was destined to be sold regardless of the controversies surrounding him.

Vince McMahon addresses whether there is any link between the scandal and the company’s sale

In a rare TV appearance with CNBC Television, he delved into the details of the sale. The WWE board of directors chairman was whether the deal would have gone ahead if the scandal did not happen. He said, “Absolutely, because it makes sense you take, nothing’s ever happened like this before. And again I’m always looking what’s best for our stockholders what’s best for the company”.

“This is the best thing that has happened in a long, long time. All the WrestleManias combined there have been 39 including tomorrow {interview taken on 1st April}. Does it really equal the magnitude of what we will do together?” added McMahon.
