In this regard, McAfee also revealed a crucial detail concerning the former CEO of WWE. “Vince McMahon, who has a mustache now, would still be with the WWE,” added the former WWE wrestler. While McMahon sporting a mustache is important news in itself, McAfee exposed something far more unique. He told fans how McMahon would stay with his favorite sports entertainment promotion.
There was doubt regarding the future of WWE in Endeavor’s hands. This was particularly because the company also owns the UFC. So, WWE might have ended up losing its fundamentals as a sports entertainment company. However, as McMahon decided to stay, the fundamentals might be maintained.

The rest of the changes will only be known as time passes by and we get more and more accustomed to the fact that both UFC and WWE are under the same company now.
