Chael Sonnen, a former UFC middleweight fighter who is known as one of the sport’s top trash talkers, was expected to have distinct perspectives. While discussing his thoughts on Vince McMahon’s retirement in the most recent episode of Ariel Helwani’s The MMA Hour, Sonnen asserted that although he doesn’t know McMahon personally, he couldn’t believe that the WWE got him. Further, he said that his sexual encounters were fully consensual.
In his words, “I never thought they’d get Vince. I mean, I never thought they’d get back. And I don’t know Vince McMahon. I know 10 people he’s had sexual relations with eight of them are women, all of them are consensual and was above age no this is true. (27:01-27:15)”

The Wall Street Journal revealed that McMahon had granted WWE employees hush money to hide the relationships. As a result, he stepped down, leaving Triple H(Creative Head) and Stephanie McMahon (Co-CEO) in charge. However, as per Chael Sonnen, the case is a bit different.
He stated, “All of a sudden, back in the biz, Vince is still in charge and he should be! You think HHH isn’t going to tell anything to Mr. McMahon? Hell no. (28:37-28:45).”
