Baseless Rumors of Vince McMahon Buying Back WWE – Recent rumors suggesting Vince McMahon might attempt to buy back WWE have been making the rounds, largely due to comments made by former WWE broadcaster Jonathan Coachman. However, there is currently no credible evidence supporting these claims, and the idea appears to be speculative at best.
Coachman’s comments—which circulated on social media without any substantial sourcing—sparked fan chatter, but no legitimate media outlet has corroborated the story. Despite McMahon’s historical significance within WWE, financial and structural realities make such a move highly improbable.
Since WWE merged with UFC under the TKO Group Holdings banner, the company’s market value has surged. That growth, driven by strategic business maneuvers and lucrative media rights deals, has made a reacquisition effort by McMahon virtually unfeasible from a financial standpoint.
McMahon does still hold shares in TKO, but his stake no longer grants him significant control. According to data shared by Wrestlenomics, the asset management giant Vanguard Group holds nearly as many shares as McMahon. Furthermore, Endeavor, Silver Lake equity partners, and Egon Durban collectively control around 60.92% of TKO, leaving McMahon far from a position of influence.
Without the capital or shareholder backing necessary to regain control, any potential effort by McMahon to reclaim WWE would face insurmountable obstacles. His ability to shape the company’s direction is now limited to his existing shareholding and whatever informal influence he may retain behind the scenes.
While it’s entirely possible Coachman heard a speculative remark or offhand comment, that alone does not indicate any actual plan is in motion. For now, the rumor remains just that—unfounded speculation without any backing from reputable financial or wrestling industry sources.
