Pro wrestling fans and journalists uttered a collective groan after reports emerged that Vince McMahon, the founder of WWE, would return to the Board.
"Today, we announce that the founder of WWE, Vince McMahon, will be returning to the Board," said Chairwoman & Co-CEO Stephanie McMahon, Co-CEO Nick Khan and Chief Content Officer Paul Levesque. Vince McMahon stated on Thursday that"WWE has an exceptional management team in place, and I do not intend for my return to have any impact on their roles, duties, or responsibilities.
Wrestling commentator Jerry D'Erasmo targeted McMahon directly on Twitter."All it took was 6 days into the New Year, and WWE has potentially already been destroyed. Vince McMahon is officially back on the Board of Directors and if you don’t think he is making ALL day to day decisions, you’re out of your f------ mind. This is a nightmare."
He wrote in a previous tweet that"McMahon Vince is a F------ LIAR. If he returns in ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM CREATIVELY, the WWE is DOOMED. Absolutely finished."Twitch streamer Billy Mays III joked that someone should distract McMahon from taking control of WWE a day before the news was officially confirmed."[Q]uick someone put a VR headset on Vince McMahon and just let him play with a WWE simulator for the rest of his days.

"The only way for WWE to fully capitalize on this opportunity is for me to return as Executive Chairman and support the management team in the negotiations for our media rights and to combine that with a review of strategic alternatives."Jeffrey Clark is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
