From Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to John Cena, Here Are All the Major Names Still Associated With Vince McMahon Despite His WWE Exit

It’s been three months since Vince McMahon resigned from the management positions that linked him to WWE. The American businessman has had a hectic start to the year as a result of the lawsuit filed by Janel Grant, a former employee who served as an employee under the company’s founder.

As the court case progresses, one of the big unknowns that has arisen lies in the current state of the former chairman of TKO Group Holdings. The answer came from NBC News, who consulted Vince McMahon’s entourage directly to find out what kind of life he maintained after his departure from WWE. And it was during this report that we found out about some WWE superstars who are still in touch with the former CEO of the WWE.

Some WWE superstars still keep in touch with Vince McMahon

NBC noted that Vince McMahon has remained in contact with only two names associated with WWE, as regulars in the entrepreneur’s post-resignation life. The outlet tried to contact representatives of both former world champions without success. But who were the stars?

John Cena

John Cena has been the face of the company that Vince McMahon created for more than 10 years now, Moreover, his success in WWE has propelled him to become a global face in sports and entertainment. In fact, several insiders indicated that the 16-time World Champion did what he wanted in the company because Vince McMahon granted him that power.

In February, Cena was a guest on the Howard Stern show and he talked about the McMahon case. He told the radio host that “The whole thing is super unfortunate and it sucks,” but he reveals that he loves McMahon and has a “great relationship” with him.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson

Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest superstars in WWE history. The Rock marked an era in the McMahons’ company before making his leap to the world of cinema, where he managed to reach the top, becoming one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood.

Rock once told in a Q&A on Twitter that Vince McMahon was one of his best mentors in the business and a father figure to him. People rarely want a relationship like that with their bosses, but the convergence of their lives made things happen. He further revealed that they laugh when they get together because they always reminisce about old times. Such is their close bond. So it is no wonder that the two are still in touch.

Donald Trump

Okay, we know he is not a wrestler but he is a Hall of Famer and has had an interesting feud with the former WWE head honcho in the past. Remember the loser shaves his head stipulation in The Battle of the Billionaires?

The two have forged a well-known friendship. And it seems that both entrepreneurs have been talking regularly since the departure of the former from WWE. However, a source pointed out that they rarely talk about the legal problems that both carry today.

The report also concluded that Vince McMahon sees the possibility of returning to WWE as impossible, as he did at the beginning of 2023. As we already know, WrestleMania XL was the first time in the history of the show not to have the participation of the entrepreneur in any role within the company. On the other hand, the sale of all of his TKO shares implies that his presence is completely separate from the company he founded more than five decades ago. What do you think? Will we get to see the return of Mr. McMahon? Let us know in the comments.
