This is not the first time McMahon has faced controversy related to misconduct. In 2022, he stepped down as CEO of WWE after revelations that he had paid nearly $15 million to four women over 16 years to settle claims of sexual misconduct.
Despite relinquishing the CEO role, McMahon retained control over the company as a majority shareholder. He was later reinstated to the company’s board in the preceding year.
As the wrestling community grapples with these shocking developments, the resignation of Vince McMahon marks a significant moment in WWE’s history, prompting a reevaluation of the culture and practices within the organization.
