Co-CEO and Chairwoman Stephanie McMahon, C0-Ceo Nick Khan, and Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque stated that not only Vince is back, but Michelle Wilson and George Barrios as well to the Board.
“Today, we announce that the founder of WWE, Vince McMahon, will be returning to the Board,”
“We also welcome back Michelle Wilson and George Barrios to our Board of Directors. Together, we look forward to exploring all strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value.”
As Vince McMahon stated yesterday, “WWE has an exceptional management team in place, and I do not intend for my return to have any impact on their roles, duties, or responsibilities.”
The company intends to undertake a review of its strategic alternatives, with the goal being to maximizing value for all WWE shareholders. There is no assurance that this process will result in a transaction.
