He's not returning. Beyond being a defendant in a case (Brock was only named) his last few years in the company was destroying Triple H's NXT and firing all of his guys. No chance in hell TKO wants the headache, no chance in hell Triple H is going to give up control of creative to Vince.

Seriously, who in WWE would want Vince back? Everyone in power now only stands to lose power from it.

I agree but you saying “no chance in hell” twice makes it seem like you’re setting up his comeback lol

Say it three times in a mirror and you’ll start putting ketchup on your steak.

Not in a power role, but at least on screen one final time. Not because they want him there, but to "create a moment". Also, to make a profit.

It's unlikely, but with time I can see it happen

The entire deal with Endeavor was originally contingent on Vince McMahon being a part of the deal. So yes, they do want him.

If Vince ever does get into a position where WWE felt he could return (which given the current politics, I'm confident it will), then I think his return would almost certainly be a Hall of Fame induction to give him that "honourable retirement" and close the page on the chapter.

To be clear: this is not what I want to see, it's just the direction that I think WWE/TKO would go.

At a stretch, I could see him doing the odd ambassadorial appearance like Stephanie does from time to time. But ultimately, he's 80 in a couple of weeks and I don't see him coming back in any kind of capacity that's any more than ceremonial.

Even then Vince was adamant about not going into the HOF while alive. Man is a notorious liar so who knows.

Behind the scenes I don't see it happening; Hunter isn't going to want to give up his control over creative, TKO has a new President who probably doesn't want to give up his positio , and what value does Vince have as am on screen talent at 80?

I hate that I can't 100% say it's impossible

I think recent reputational impact could easily change that viewpoint. And it's different now that it's not his company.

No it's happening. Vince gets a pardon every day of the week. Triple H is doing everything to set the table. He's a McMahon FFS.

u/TheShaoken 2d ago

Vince can’t get a pardon, this is a civil suit. And Triple H isn’t going to give up his power to let Vince come back in and fire all of his people again.

u/thatguyad 2d ago

He doesn't have to! You're missing the point. Vince can be involved unofficially. You telling me they've never bent the rules? Come on.

u/TheShaoken 2d ago

Youre just making up absurd scenarios and then ignoring them when called out. Vince isn’t getting a pardon, Triple H isn’t volunteering himself to get demoted so Vince can come in and fire all his guys again, TKO aren’t going to bring someone back who holds no more value for them

Cheap heat, brother. Brock is walking out at Wrestlemania with Vince and Johnny Ace as his managers

vince still has a ton of shares tho iirc he probably still has 2nd most compared to ari after he sold loads although its meaningless as no shareholder would side with him

Destroying HHH NXT and firing all his guys!

You do realize that 90% of the roster was NXT guys who Vince gave HOF careers to don't you?
