WWE’s Shareholders Are The Company’s Primary Focus With Vince McMahon’s Return

WrestleMania weekend is upon us now, but change is also in the air. Vince McMahon’s return to WWE was in the name of media rights talks and to usher in a sale. There are a lot of questions, but WWE is not going to take any action until they think things through.

During a conversation on First Take, WWE CEO Nick Khan was asked how WWE handled Vince McMahon’s situation. He made it clear that the shareholders and employees are the company’s first two concerns.

There were two things that we were focused on, number one our shareholders to let them know that we had good people in the pocket to run this company. Number two, our employees, my colleagues. It was important that everyone knew, even though it seemed like chaotic times, let’s stick with the calm. Let’s get through this and focus on the product. If you look on from that moment, our ratings went up. Our relevancy, I think, went up. Everybody focused on the core business, and you know, if you focus on that, [good things will come].”
