When Vince McMahon came back to power, WWE went through another big change. Since Stephanie McMahon’s resignation, Mr. McMahon has resumed his position as board chairman. Now, it seems more than ever that the company will be sold.
Sean Sapp talked about the rumor that Saudi Arabia is going to buy WWE. The same thing was said to him, but nothing has been proven. Still, there are still a few hints that this might be the case.
One of the more depressing nights in recent history for wrestling.
WWE got a real shot in the arm when Vince left and now? He’s in charge and they’re owned by Saudi Arabia.
Shit. https://t.co/ctQrW8wtxP

Saudi Arabia and WWE signed a 10-year deal to put on a number of high-quality live events in Saudi Arabia. Now that Vince McMahon is back in charge and wants to sell the company, the controversial Kingdom is a leading candidate, but nothing has been decided yet.
WWE is going through a lot of changes right now, and Vince McMahon came back to help with a sale. This is an interesting situation, and you never know what will happen when Saudi Arabia is a possible buyer.
