Just when everything was going right for WWE, out of nowhere Vince McMahon made his return to the company and the potential reason behind his arrival is believed to be that he wants to sell WWE.
As per recent reports, WWE’s sale is looking imminent at this time and the deal is expected to be finalized by mid-2023. WWE fans are clearly not happy with the story going around as they don’t want the company to go under new management.
So in this article, we will discuss 3 reasons why WWE should not be sold.
1. If Vince McMahon does sell WWE, it will affect the pro wrestling industry

Selling a large company like WWE can have a significant impact on the professional wrestling industry. If the company gets sold, it would potentially change the way wrestling is produced, promoted, and consumed.
Additionally, the sale of WWE could also have an effect on the independent wrestling scene, as many independent wrestlers rely on WWE as a stepping stone to gain exposure and advance their careers. In this way, WWE going private will deeply affect the ecosystem of the pro wrestling world.
2. If Vince McMahon does sell WWE, the company may lose some of its fans

The sale of WWE would have a significant impact on the company’s fan base, as a change in ownership would lead to different ideas for the direction of the company, which could alienate some fans who are used to the current style of WWE programming.
Plenty of WWE superstars could make an exit from the company if WWE goes under a leadership change. Watching their favorite wrestles leave and never seeing them on their television screens again would negatively affect the dedicated fan base of WWE.
3. It may impact the legacy of WWE
WWE has a rich history spanning decades, and there are many elements that make the company where it is today. WWE gave us legends like The Undertaker, John Cena and Hulk Hogan. Over the years, we have witnessed some iconic storylines, classic matches and historic reigns.
If the new owners do not have a deep understanding or appreciation for the history of WWE, they may not prioritize preserving the company’s legacy. Though it will not create any major impact today, it will diminish the company’s legacy for future generations.
