Report: Vince McMahon Intends to Return to WWE; Retired After Misconduct Allegations

Vince McMahon has told people close to him that he will return to the company at some point.

McMahon retired in July amid allegations that he paid millions of dollars to four women over a 16-year period to ensure their silence over sexual relationships with McMahon.

McMahon took control of the company in July after leading the business and creative side of the company for decades.

McMahon's daughter took over as chairman and co-CEO, while Khan was promoted to co-CEO. Triple H took over as head of creative and vice president of talent relations.

Two women have accused McMahon of sexual assault. McMahon is accused of sexually assaulting Rita Chatterton in a limousine in 1986. Chatterton's representative wrote a letter to McMahon's legal team in November asking for $11.75 million in damages, according to a report.

McMahon was accused of sexually assault a former spa manager in a separate lawsuit.

According to reports, McMahon is not paying any settlements.

People familiar with the situation said the spa manager reported her allegations to the resort. She told her husband that McMahon tried to confront him with a baseball bat at the venue where the event was being held.

McMahon retired after he was accused of paying $12 million in secret settlements to women.

McMahon's payments should have been recorded as expenses, but they weren't. People close to the situation told Palazzolo and Mann that the board of directors is considering legal action against McMahon.

The payments were made to four women. When allegations came to light that McMahon paid a woman $3 million to keep her quiet, an investigation began.

McMahon still has more voting power than anyone else in the company.

It's possible that McMahon could return to his previous positions with the company at some point, but if the board of directors blocks him or even takes legal action against him, that's not realistic.
