Vince McMahon Considering WWE Return Amidst $11.75 Million Lawsuit

Vince McMahon has reportedly told people close to him that he plans to return to WWE at some point. But why did he leave WWE and what are his return plans? Let's find out more about this!

Why did he leave WWE?

After purchasing WWE from his father in 1982, McMahon headed the business and creative sides of the company for decades before ceding control to a host of executives in July amid allegations that he paid millions of dollars to four women over a 16-year period to secure their silence over sexual relationships with him.

Wait, there's more?

In addition to the alleged payments, McMahon has been accused of sexual assault by two women. Former WWE referee Rita Chatterton sued McMahon over allegations he sexually assaulted her in a limo in 1986. McMahon was also accused of sexually assaulting a former spa manager in 2011.

Return of McMahon?

McMahon remains the majority owner and stakeholder of WWE and retains more individual voting power than anyone else in the company. That suggests there is at least some level of possibility that McMahon could return to his previous positions with WWE at some point but if the board of directors decides to block him or even take legal action against him, it may not be a realistic option.
