The highly anticipated merger between the WWE and UFC has finally given rise to TKO Group Holdings. Pro wrestling and MMA fans were excited for the event, where a new TKO belt was unveiled at the finalization of the merger. At the event, all WWE and UFC bigwigs attended, including Triple H, Dana White, and Vince McMahon. However, something about McMahon’s new look got fans all worked up.

In January this year, there were talks about McMahon wanting to sell the WWE. In April, it was announced that there could be a merger between the WWE and UFC. Despite that becoming a reality, fans are more surprised by McMahon’s new look for his TKO profile.

Vince McMahon’s new, ‘younger’ look has fans puzzled

Regarding changes in looks, the McMahon children have seen their fair share. Stephanie McMahon changed her look after taking claim to the WWE as an authoritative figure, and so did Shane McMahon. However, the older McMahon’s new look is no match. This is the first time in a long time that McMahon has changed his look as drastically as he has now.

Contrary to his usual look, McMahon has been sporting a mustache for most of this year. His TKO profile reflected that poorly, however, with the WWE executive chairman looking unrecognizable. Compared to his signature white hair and clean-shaven look, McMahon was seen with his mustache and hair dyed black, making him look a bit off.

While most fans started making memes of the image, others were trying to figure out what statement McMahon was trying to set. With the WWE Superstar Spectacle taking place just a few days ago in India, many Indian fans also took the opportunity to compare him to Bollywood actor Ajit Khan, known for playing villains.

The Future of TKO and fan reactions

With the WWE and UFC now merged, fans of both are excited to see where this endeavor leads in terms of sports entertainment. While both entities will operate separately, there will be crossover events that fans are highly excited about. Triple H will continue as the Head of Creative and Chief Content Officer, while Dana White will oversee operations in the UFC division.
