WWE: Ex-chairman Vince McMahon plotting a return to the company - Reports

Days after World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in its SEC filing revealed that it had uncovered an additional $5 million in unrecorded payment connected to former WWE boss Vince McMahon, the Wall Street Journal in a report on Wednesday revealed who was the recipient of the said amount.

Days after World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in its SEC filing revealed that it had uncovered an additional $5 million in unrecorded payment connected to former WWE boss Vince McMahon, the Wall Street Journal in a report on Wednesday revealed who was the recipient of the said amount. Reportedly, Vince McMahon made the $5 million payment to former US President Donald Trump and his now dissolved Donald J. Trump Foundation between 2007 and 2009. The payments were made after Trump made an appearance during WrestleMania in 2007 and an episode of RAW in 2009. The WWE fans may remember the Wrestlemania event as the one where Trump shaved McMahon's head after the former's wrestler won against the WWE boss. Also Read: WWE hit by a scandal! Why has Vince McMahon stepped down as chairman and CEO? It is pertinent to note that the $5 million payment was part of the $20 million unrecorded expense that the company and the financial agencies had been probing. Experts have weighed in on the issue by stating that McMahon should have cataloged the $5 million payment as business expenses as it reportedly benefitted the company. Moreover, Trump's foundation in its tax report mentioned that the payment came directly from WWE. However, according to the security filings, the payment was made by McMahon personally. The undisclosed payment raises several tax issues which McMahon might find himself embroiled in after the revelation.

Vince McMahon paid $5 million to Donald Trump's charity in unrecorded expenses

Vince McMahon has announced he will be retiring as the CEO and the chairman of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) amid the ongoing probe against him over allegations of sexual misconduct. McMahon had earlier stepped down from his posts temporarily after a report in the Wall Street Journal claimed he had agreed to pay over $12 million in hush money to multiple women in order to keep them quiet about his sexual misconduct.

Several former WWE employees/wrestlers have levelled sexual misconduct allegations against the former WWE chairman and CEO. McMahon had purchased the company in 1982 from his father and played an instrumental role in turning it into a multi-million dollar empire with a staggering fan base across the globe. The company was known as the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) back then.

Since taking charge, McMahon drove the revenues of the company towards an upward trajectory by introducing events like Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble among others. He also made superstars out of several wrestlers by backing them through thick and thin and giving them a platform to shine.

In a statement released by the WWE, 77-year-old McMahon said he feels it's time for him to retire but he will continue to be the majority shareholder in the company. His daughter Stephanie McMahon, who had taken charge as the interim CEO when McMahon stepped down from his post temporarily, will now serve as the chairperson of the company and will share the CEO post with Nick Khan.

“As I approach 77 years old, I feel it’s time for me to retire as Chairman and CEO of WWE. Throughout the years, it’s been a privilege to help WWE bring you joy, inspire you, thrill you, surprise you, and always entertain you. I would like to thank my family for mightily contributing to our success, and I would also like to thank all of our past and present Superstars and employees for their dedication and passion for our brand,” McMahon said in a statement shared by WWE.

McMahon had first stepped down from his post temporarily after it was reported that he paid $3 million to a former unnamed female employee of the WWE to keep his affair private with her. In a fresh report by the Wall Street Journal earlier this month, it was claimed that McMahon also paid a total of $12 million to four different women to keep them silent about his sexual misconduct in the company.
