What is being said about WWE potentially bringing back Vince McMahon in the aftermath of Janel Grant lawsuit
This week, it was reported that Janel Grant’s lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE is moving to private arbitration. While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com speculated about Vince potentially returning to WWE in the aftermath of Grant’s lawsuit…
“It wouldn’t shock me. I don’t know that I would expect it. I cannot imagine he would be put in charge of anything. It’s not like they’re going to have him replace [WWE President] Nick Khan calling the shots. He certainly isn’t going to replace Paul Levesque [Triple H] doing the booking. There’s no way they can go to that card. That’s not going to happen. But the idea of bringing him in in a figurehead position, trotting him out every now and then… like I said, it wouldn’t shock me at all.
The funny part is that if he came out as a surprise on a TV show, it’d be this giant reaction. That’s just the reality of the situation.
So, I’m not saying it’ll happen. I don’t know. I cannot imagine him being put in a position of any real decision-making power, though. That I couldn’t see.
[Mark] Shapiro and [Ari] Emanuel aren’t going to give up the power they have in that regard. They’re not going to replace Nick Khan. Nick Khan has gotten very, very powerful and very, very successful.
They’re not going to replace Levesque, I don’t think. Not with Vince anyway. I don’t think they’re going to replace him anyway because they haven’t trained anyone for that position. I mean, who’s out there that they would trust in that position?”
