WWE sold out a 60k stadium in Wales in like 30 seconds last year and the O2 is a 20k capacity venue. I would love to go to this PPV, but it's going to sell out in 10 seconds. They actually didn't sell it out and reduced the ticket prices nearer the event which nearly got sales up to capacity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the correction. I'm not sure where I read it, but I may have confused it with another one of WWE's boast posts about sales numbers.

Daweii Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 It has been a busy few days in WWE and none of it happened on-screen. Vince McMahon is back. He forced his way back onto the board of directors by threatening to use the voting power from his shares to make getting new media rights deals difficult. Since returning he has been re-instated as Executive Chairman of the Board. He was joined by George Barrios and Michelle Wilson. Three board members were removed from their positions to make way for them. Two other board members resigned after Vince McMahon was reinstated. Vince McMahon is back to facilitate the sale of WWE ahead of media rights negotiations later this year. WWE have hired JP Morgan to help lead sales talks. Comcast are the current front runners in the race to buy WWE, but other potential buyers include Fox, Disney, and even the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. All change at WWE and it looks like they'll have new owners sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 If PIF really have purchased WWE and Vince stays as chairman I can see WWE being dead within a few years. No US broadcaster will want to pay the Saudi's to show their product; they'll go to streaming only. Any partnerships will be dissolved, and a lot of talent will look to go elsewhere as was the case until HHH took over creative. Some of the legends won't appear in the future so not to tarnish their image by associating with the Saudis. Only 1 person will benefit from this. Vince. Bye bye KO and Sami. And Wrestlemania to be in Saudi very, very soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anyone who didn't see it, he dressed similarly to Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII, and walked out to One Winged Angel (the song from the final boss fight of FFVII against Sephiroth, and the name of Omega's finisher of course). Was a nice moment with him teaming up with Okada at New Year's Dash too - although not as good as Taichi, Taka, Douki and Nobu announcing their new stable name, following the disbanding of Suzuki-gun in December - they're now called 'Just Four Guys'.
