Rumor killer regarding Vince McMahon potentially buying back WWE from TKO

Over the past several days, there has been speculation about former WWE owner Vince McMahon being interested in buying back WWE. During the Behind the Turnbuckle podcast, former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman stated the following…

“I’ve been quoted a lot from this show the last week, everywhere, because I have conversations. People trust me. People call me. I talk to them because I don’t treat this like the end-all be-all. And the one thing that I’ve yet to be wrong about — anything. And so now all of a sudden I’m getting on all these websites because I have educated views and I also have people that are tipping me off. Now, do I know 100% he’s going to buy [WWE]? I know that he wants to.” (quote courtesy of RingsideNews.com)

In regards to the claim, Masked J of PWNexus noted the following…

“I was given word that TKO is not interested in selling off WWE. And the source I spoke with chuckled at the thought of Vince purchasing it back. It’s very possible he may feel like he wants it back, but seems very unlikely at this point since WWE is not for sale.”
