WWE Legend Jim Cornette does not think that Vince McMahon returning to WWE is best for business
In episode 273 of Jim Cornette’s Drive Thru, the former wrestling manager shared his thoughts on the probable return of The Boss. According to the American author and podcaster, The Evil Genius returning to WWE might not be beneficial for the company. He thinks it would be best if the 77 years old keeps his hands out of the business. “I think no, I think Vince for PR, for creative and potentially just for hiring, he needs to be separated from that situation”, Cornette said.
He went on to say that he does not “see a lot of the guys wanting [a Vince McMahon return]” because “they didn’t want to work for Vince”. Furthermore, he added that if The Higher Power actually wants to come back, then no one can stop him from doing so.

As per Cornette and several reports, no one wants The Genetic Jackhammer to be back in WWE. But despite The King of Kings being the Head of Creative and The Queen of Queens being the Chairwoman and co-CEO alongside WWE President Nick Khan, Mr. McMahon still holds the majority of the power.
