With Vince McMahon set to completely move on from WWE and TKO Group Holdings, rumors surrounding the former chairman have spread.

McMahon is being sued by former WWE employee Janel Grant, who is accusing McMahon of sexual abuse and trafficking. McMahon resigned from TKO one day after the lawsuit was filed. He has since been selling off his shares of the company, and his final shares are on the market.

So, what about those rumors of Vince McMahon potentially wanting to start a new wrestling promotion?

In a report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter's Dave Meltzer, it's mentioned that someone close to Vince McMahon says that while the former WWE boss is open to exploring other business ventures he doesn't plan on starting his own wrestling company. Rumors had surfaced that many within the wrestling business felt there was a good chance McMahon would start a new promotion, but it appears this latest report puts that chatter to rest.

McMahon's name has been scrubbed from WWE programming and products amid the Janel Grant lawsuit. WWE 2K24 developers reportedly had to scramble in order to get McMahon and Brock Lesnar removed from the game before release. While there wasn't enough time to have their assets completely removed, McMahon and Lesnar are not selectable characters in the game.

Lesnar allegedly requested explicit photos and video of Grant from McMahon. It's also alleged that Lesnar had set up a "play date" with Grant before inclement weather changed plans.
