After the confirmation of the WWE-UFC merger on Monday, Vince McMahon, the Executive Chairman of WWE, sent a message to the company’s employees. In the message, he commended Endeavor for their work with UFC and expressed his confidence that the merger would contribute to the growth of the wrestling company.
As the new company’s Executive Chairman, the 77-year-old McMahon has indicated that he will have a role in the creative decision-making process, but it will be limited to higher-level decisions.
As per Brandon Thurston, WWE employees received a message from Mr. McMahon earlier today confirming the merger. It read:
“I’m excited to announce that WWE has entered into a partnership with Endeavor to create a one-of-a-kind company that will bring together two global sports and entertainment powerhouses: WWE and UFC. The historic alliance of these two formidable institutions has the potential to unlock vast growth opportunities for both organizations and generate an optimal outcome for our employees, shareholders, fans, and other stakeholders. We are huge admirers of the work Endeavor has done to grow the UFC brand, and they will be the perfect partner to help supercharge our growth at WWE.”
