I remember Brian Gewirtz said in his book, he spoke of butting heads with Paul Heyman and HHH. It’s interesting they’re all working together now

Come on Conrad! Ari Emmanuel is NOT Nick Khan’s old boss. Quite contrary, they were old rivals because of the CAA VS WME rivalr. Nick Khan’s old boss is Bryan Lourd. That’s like saying Paul Levesque and Tony Khan works in the same company because it’s rassslin! Lol

TKO's largest shareholder is still.. Vince McMahon. Hunter's net worth is estimated at $150M (His wife is estimated to be worth another $150M, so $300M as a couple.) The Rock's net worth was estimated to be $800M+ before the new $30M deal, he's been getting $25M plus points on his movie deals. Both Hunter & the Rock could walk away from WWE and their lives wouldn't change a bit and they would be perfectly fine.

Looking at the timeline: Vince retired in July 2022 The board votes no for Vince to return in January 2023 (Triple H allegedly voted down Vince’s return) January 2023 - Vince has majority voting power so he returns anyways April 2023 WWE sells to Endeavor Oct 2023 Vince completely removed from creative. Ari hands the reigns to Triple H. Jan 2024 - new allegations against McMahon. McMahon resigns. During all that time of the sale after the initial allegations came out, there is no way that endeavor did not know exactly what Vince was being accused of. Ari removed creative power from Vince and gave it to triple H, which is something that they wouldn’t have done if he had Vince’s stink on him. I’ve also seen Ari and Triple H together several times in videos and pictures. I think Brian coming back is more so to deal with the Rock while he is there than for anything else.

I don't think they will flush Triple H out with the rest of the McMahon family, not unless his name gets mentioned in all these lawsuits. I think he's too great of an asset to creative and a great bridge from the corporate side of WWE to the talent. He knows both and he has the best relationship with the talent. If they force him out and he's innocent, if his name is never mentioned in the lawsuits, he will find a new home to start cooking in. And you can bet every wrestler will follow him. I fear the removal of Triple H will lead to the downfall of the WWE. I think he is the key holding it together right now. They just have to let all these lawsuits blow over and then they will be in the clear I think.

I truly think the Rock will take over as chairman this year. It's all around the best idea for everyone involved. His only connection to McMahon was business. He's a superstar and makes a great, well-known face of the company. He's not only extremely knowledgeable about the business (likely far more than anyone else on the board), but he also loves the business and will do whatever is best for the company. I think he's already got a shoe-in, and this is like a trial "let's see how it goes" moment.
