Vince McMahon viewed the investigation as an act of disloyalty

LA Times recently released a report on McMahon and revealed more details about the allegations against him last year. The report says that he was not happy with the WWE board of directors opting to conduct an investigation against him.

It isn’t hidden that when he came back to power; he forced a few board directors to resign from their positions. According to the report by written by Stacy Perman, of the LA Times, a source close to one of the removed directors revealed that when the WWE directors carried out an investigation against McMahon prior to his resignation made him view them differently, especially thanks to his focus on loyalty.

“‘He’s the kind of person who expects loyalty,’ said someone close to one of the ousted directors, adding that McMahon viewed its investigation as an act of disloyalty, even though the board was doing its job,“ Perman said in the article.

He saw this as an act of disloyalty. The report also points out that the investigation might be the reason McMahon decided to step down from his position as WWE CEO and chairman last year.

WWE’s board of directors wanted McMahon to resign

Therefore, it must have been hard for him when he had to quit his position last year. People close to the board told the LA Times that, though reluctant to leave his position, McMahon had no choice but to vacant his seat because he was asked to do so.

“He said, ‘OK, do whatever you guys need to do. I’m not going to stand in your way.’ Of course, when the board said, ‘Well, you know, we think you need to step down,’. He wasn’t happy about it. But he did it,” this is what had happened prior to McMahon resigning in July last year, according to WWE board insiders.

But nobody could keep McMahon away from his brainchild. He returned in January this year and took the reins of the company in his hands again. He slid his way back into the company, promising that the intent of his return was to facilitate the sale of the company.

Living up to his promise, WWE has now merged with UFC to form TKO. And guess what, McMahon is the Executive Chairman of TKO Group Holdings following the WWE-UFC merger.
