Did Recent Allegations Force Vince McMahon Into Retirement?

It came as a shock for every wrestling fan when Vince McMahon announced his retirement from WWE. He ran the company for 40 years since he acquired WWE from his father Vince McMahon Sr. in 1982.

However, there are various questions in the wrestling universe, such as why Mr. McMahon had to announce his sudden retirement? Is the retirement because of the ongoing investigations? Or did he retire because of any illness nobody knows?

A few months ago ahead of WrestleMania 38, current Chairperson of WWE Stephanie McMahon talked with Mike Pillucci of DMagazine. There she had stated that Vince McMahon wasn’t going to retire any time for a few more years.

The Billion Dollar Princess said, “I think you hit the nail on the head. He has said, I think, publicly that he will ‘die in the chair.’ We’ll see. Who knows? Life is long and unpredictable, but somehow, I don’t see him retiring any time soon.”

As she claimed, Mr. McMahon wasn’t planning to retire anytime soon this year or for the coming few years. He enjoyed the work he did and wanted to do it for as long as possible. 

A couple of months ago, an investigation was started over the allegations that Vince McMahon paid certain hush money to a few female employees. He paid this money to hide their relationship. However, he stepped down as WWE’s chairperson as the investigation began. 

Moreover, things became serious when Wall Street Journal published more depth information on the case. There are no claims made that Vince McMahon retired because of the ongoing investigations. In the tweet, Mr. McMahon mentioned his age as the reason to retire.

However, the exact reason for his sudden retirement is not known yet. There are various possible reasons which might come out in the near future. As of now, only his close ones are aware of the reality.

Which way will WWE go after Vince McMahon?

Vince McMahon ran the ship of WWE for four long decades in which the company saw many ups and downs. However, the competitive nature of the boss helped WWE to be the top wrestling promotion that they are today globally.
