WWE shocked its fans with a record-breaking deal. The promotion that was put on sale as per the rumors has now been purchased. The buyer is none other than ‘Endeavor’, the company behind the leading MMA promotion, the UFC. While the deal was rumored for quite some time now, Endeavor reportedly closed the deal on April 3, 2023. This business decision came with a lot of opinions.

Well-recognized WWE personality, Pat McAfee recently gave his share of ideas regarding the grand merger. Going ahead, he also revealed a crucial detail regarding Vince McMahon that shows how WWE is still free to maintain its fundamental elements.

McAfee talked about the whooping numbers that Endeavor has produced with this ultimate merger. He revealed that after buying WWE and combining the numbers with UFC’s net worth, Endeavor is blessed with a “$21 Billion global net worth”. Although the merger came with a huge number, all that fans care about is the future of the wrestling promotion.

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.

A few changes might take place. Since the sports journalist Ariel Helwani is banned from UFC events, the same may follow suit with WWE as well. 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.

Time has shown how often WWE and UFC have switched their members. So, switching will not be a new thing to occur. However, cross-promotional events might also become a thing for interested wrestlers and fighters.

Just like a lot of fans, McAfee also saw this deal coming from a mile away. However, what others might not have known about Vince McMahon was recently revealed by him.
