WWE has now scrubbed any reference to former chairman Vince McMahon following his sexual assault allegations. However, rumors have popped up that he might start a new promotion as he is now selling all his stock at WWE's parent company TKO, which also owns UFC.

These days, the WWE is largely being run by Nick Khan and Paul "Triple H" Levesque, with Vince McMahon, who once had absolute power in the promotion, not having any power at all as he resigned from the company last January over the sexual abuse and sex trafficking lawsuit filed against him.

McMahon's TKO stocks have not been completely sold yet, but many are now questioning his future in the pro wrestling industry should he sell his stocks and be unaffiliated with aany promotion. This has sparked rumors that he may start his own promotion, but Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer thinks he may not do that.

According to Wrestle Talk, "Big Dave," considered one of the most trusted people in wrestling news, spoke to individuals in the business to get their opinions on the matter and the majority of them do not think Vince McMahon would want to return. This is mainly because they think the disgraced former promoter is "completely done with the wrestling business" due to "age, reputation, and lack of openings."

The lawsuit against McMahon was a big factor in this as it would make it hard for the former WWE chairman to get a TV deal and sponsors on board, even if he has "an endless amount of money" from the sale of his TKO stocks. His age may also be a factor as many others that Meltzer spoke to believe that if he was younger, he would give it a go.

In addition, Meltzer noted that "there would be very few people" who are even willing to join McMahon should he begin a new company, as WWE has proven to be a more stable option even without the accused sex offender running the show.
