The Undertaker Finds A WWE Without Vince McMahon Difficult To Imagine
The Undertaker on Vince McMahon's WWE return
Mar 13, 2023
The Undertaker has admitted while chatting to BT Sport's Ariel Helwani that he finds a Vince McMahon-less WWE "hard to imagine."
Addressing McMahon's return to the organisation in January 2023, Undertaker stated:
"Even in this role, I think it's going to be challenging for him. I mean, that's his baby, man, he's the one who created this whole thing. I know he wants to make sure that these TV deals and everything are done the right way and right now that's his sole motivation but that's Vince McMahon, I don't know, we'll see where it goes. A WWE without Vince is hard to imagine."
The WWE Hall of Famer also finds it difficult to imagine that McMahon would relinquish complete control of WWE in the future, adding:
"I would have a really hard time imagining that there wouldn't be some kind of contingency that he has some type of control there. I don't think even if the company was to get sold, which I don't have any feeling one way or another whether that's going to happen or not, but I just can't imagine somebody coming in and buying the company and running it the same way with just the dedication to detail the way it's run now."
Vince McMahon is currently the Executive Chairman of WWE, having forced his way back into the organisation in January 2023. McMahon is back to pursue a sale of the company and lead talks over WWE's next media rights deal should a sale fail to materialise.
McMahon had been gone from WWE for several months after resigning in July 2022 amidst a sexual misconduct and hush money scandal. McMahon announced his resignation in a brief retirement tweet and The Undertaker revealed that the 77-year-old told him about his plans the day before which caused an argument between the two friends.
"He called me the day before he announced [his retirement] and we got into an argument because I thought he was ribbing me. I said, 'There's no way, there is absolutely no way you're stepping away.' We ended up kind of going at it a little bit. Finally, I was like 'alright, okay.' Sure enough, next day, Vince resigned but I knew there was no way he'd stay away," Taker said.
