This would be insane if it happens. ESPN or Fox owning WWE!?

I could see them getting the network or something, but McMahon flat out selling the whole company!?

They've been talking about WWE selling for years. I'll believe it when I see it.

Interesting comments about a WWE sale. Nothing will be happening soon, but Freddie Prinze Jr said that before Fox paid for the rights to SD, WWE was trying to get Fox to buy the whole company, but Fox said no.

That does sound believable, and lines up with rumors of the companies who could've bought them.

Of course, we know the whole Peacock deal too, it also wouldn't surprise me if they approached NBC about buying them before they just opted for buying the network rights.

Figured I'll bump this given the recent news.

I read Comcact (owns NBC universal/Peacock and so on) and Fox are among the big companies who could be part of this sale.

The thing I wonder is if they'll just buy WWE for the content, or to actually run them.

And will some non wrestling heads be good to own them?

To me it's like a sports team. Do you want a company who knows nothing about sports running a team, an individual owner, or a mix of both (company owns them but hires someone who knows the ins and outs to run things at the top)?

It was nice being a fan for 20-some years

Nick Khan met with Disney CEO and ESPN President. Mickey Mouse about to dethrone Roman guys.

Would be hilarious if Tony Khan bought it.

I hope he doesn’t…but it would be hilarious.
