Vince McMahons exit from WWE may not be as final as it looks and Dave Meltzer thinks the door could quietly reopen once the legal smoke clears.
Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer laid out a scenario where McMahons resignation isnt the end of the story, but a pause dictated by timing, optics, and lawsuits. According to Meltzer, Vinces original retirement was never meant to stick.
Meltzer explained that internal communications revealed what he repeatedly referred to as a playbook a strategy that allowed Vince to step away publicly while positioning himself to return through a corporate sale.
That strategy, Meltzer said, centered around the sale to Endeavor, which the shareholder lawsuit now claims was never a real bidding process to begin with.
McMahons second departure in early 2024, Meltzer argued, wasnt about reflection or consequences it was about damage control after the Janel Grant lawsuit became public.
But Meltzer doesnt believe that means Vince is gone forever. Instead, he suggested the current situation looks eerily similar to how McMahon maneuvered his way back once before.
Even without controlling power, McMahon still owns billions in TKO stock and Meltzer noted that Vince stopped selling shares, something he views as a major tell that conversations may already be happening behind closed doors.
If the lawsuits resolve quietly, Meltzers read is that the same people who once enabled Vinces return could decide its safe to do so again even if his role is symbolic or corporate rather than hands-on.
