WWE co-founder Vince McMahon remains under federal scrutiny following allegations of sexual misconduct and trafficking.
McMahon stepped down from TKO Group Holdings earlier this year after claims surfaced from former WWE employee Janel Grant.
Reports confirm a federal investigation into the allegations against McMahon.
Federal agents seized McMahon’s phone to determine if federal laws were violated regarding the publicized accusations.
Last July, investigators issued a federal grand jury subpoena and executed a search warrant, marking an escalation in the ongoing probe. The investigation centers on McMahon’s alleged hush-money payments to women. McMahon, reportedly cooperating with authorities, remains confident no charges will be filed against him, expecting a resolution in Grant’s civil case out of court.
Meanwhile, WWE is distancing itself from McMahon, purportedly erasing him from its history. McMahon’s attorney, Jessica Rosenberg, emphasized plans to contest the allegations, dismissing them as baseless.
Despite Linda McMahon’s presence at the recent WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, Vince was notably absent.
Amid the controversy, speculation arises about Linda’s potential return to WWE. Linda’s reappearance at the Hall of Fame event hints at a possible comeback, sparking discussions about her significance to TKO and her motivations for reconnecting with her husband’s former venture.
