Vince McMahon merged his company with UFC in the hopes of making big profits. Putting the debate of profits aside, however, McMahon appears to be on the edge of a cliff currently. The former CEO of WWE joined the TKO as the Executive Chairman. However, it looks like his trip to the board of TKO might be cut short soon.

There have been several recent developments surrounding the $21.4 billion company under Endeavor that signals that McMahon’s grip on WWE is not as firm as before. Since the 78-year-old is no more the ‘high and mighty’ power inside the sports entertainment company, the following reasons suggest that he might be forced to leave the company soon.

Currently, McMahon sits as the Executive Chairman of TKO Holdings. So, even though he is among the board members, he is not in an invincible position. Because of this, there is a system of checks and balances watching over him. So far, there have been some signs that suggest how the former CEO of WWE might earn the ticket out of the multi-billion-dollar company soon.

Not too long after the merger got confirmed and everyone in WWE was assigned new positions, TKO had to face a new challenge. This time around, the challenge was inside the board itself, in the shape of their Executive Chairman. The rest of the board then mentioned in their regulatory report that McMahon could prove problematic for TKO. According to them, his very presence puts the company at risk due to his being controversial.

So far, there haven’t been reports concerning the higher management’s reaction to this, but if they look into the matter more, that might be the end of the road for McMahon inside this company.

Secondly, a few days ago, Mike Johnson from PW Insider reported intriguing information about the company. There was a belief backstage in TKO that Triple H has now been ‘knighted’ by Endeavor to have full control. This ‘control’ is regarding WWE’s creative direction. And even though McMahon could still give his opinion, his jurisdiction lies outside of the creative domain.

Lastly, fresh reports coming from Bloomberg’s Screentime Conference tell us that Ari Emanuel sees McMahon as partially responsible for TKO’s falling stocks. There could be two other potential reasons for this financial mishap. However, the CEO of Endeavor believes that McMahon’s presence as a long-running stockholder has scared other stockholders into ‘putting’ TKO.
