Alright, let’s talk about who owns that wrestling thing, the WWE. You know, the one with all them fellas jumpin’ around in their underwear. Used to be that McMahon fella, Vince somethin’-or-other. He was the boss man for donkey’s years, him and his family. Always yellin’ and stompin’, that one.
But things change, don’t they? Like the weather, or the price of eggs. Now, it ain’t just Vince runnin’ the show no more. Seems like some big company, Endeavor, they call themselves, they went and bought the WWE.
- Yeah, Endeavor. They’re like a big ol’ umbrella, and the WWE is just one of the things they got tucked under it.
- They also own that UFC fightin’ thing. You know, the one where them fellas really beat each other up.
- So, Endeavor, they went and mashed the WWE and the UFC together into somethin’ called TKO. Sounds like a kinda punch, don’t it? TKO.
Now, this TKO thing, that’s who really owns the WWE. And Endeavor, they’re the big boss of TKO. It’s like them Russian dolls, you know? One inside the other. Endeavor’s the biggest doll, then TKO, then the WWE.
Vince, he’s still around, kinda. He helped make the deal happen, see. Got himself a nice chunk of change, I reckon. But he ain’t the top dog no more. He’s got a fancy title, somethin’ about bein’ a chairman, but it ain’t the same as bein’ the owner. He’s just a part of the machine now, like a cog in a tractor.
This Endeavor, they’re a big deal, I hear. They got all sorts of things goin’ on. Talent agency, they call it. Representin’ actors and singers and all them fancy folks. Guess they figured wrestlin’ was just another kinda show business, somethin’ they could make money off of.
So, if you’re askin’ who owns the WWE now, it ain’t simple like it used to be. It ain’t just Vince anymore. It’s this TKO Group, and they’re owned by Endeavor. Vince is still hangin’ around, but he’s takin’ orders now, not givin’ ’em. And that’s the long and short of it, best as I can figure. It’s like buyin’ a farm, but way bigger and with more fightin’.
They say it’s all official now, happened last year, in 2023. Took ’em a while to figure it all out, I guess. Big deals like that, they take time. Lots of paper pushin’ and lawyer talkin’, I bet. And now, in 2024, it’s all settled.
So, there you have it. Endeavor owns TKO, and TKO owns WWE. Vince is still around, but he’s not the boss anymore. It’s a whole new world for that wrestlin’ bunch, a whole new kettle of fish.
They still got them fellas in their underwear jumpin’ around, though. Some things never change, I guess. But who owns the whole shebang? That’d be Endeavor, through that TKO group. Plain and simple, even an old woman like me can understand that.
