While still serving as CEO and Chairman, Vince McMahon predicted that would happen to WWE when he retired. Now that he has retired, footage has re-emerged online of Vince McMahon explaining what would happen to WWE when he stepped away, and to his credit, he was completely spot on.
McMahon said during the interview, which is believed to have been filmed between 2002 and 2006, that he was completely healthy and didn’t feel like he’d need to step away anytime soon.
Vince did hold his positions within WWE until just last month, only stepping away because of sexual misconduct allegations levied against him, rather than because of health issues.
Prior to his retirement, Vince served as WWE’s CEO, Chairman and also as Head of Creative, roles that have all now been redistributed.
