Chris Welch / @chriswelch: The rumors come days after Vince McMahon essentially forced his way back onto WWE's board of directors to pursue a sale. The board had earlier unanimously voted that his return to the company would not be in the best interest of shareholders.
Chris Welch / @chriswelch: If true, the deal could have major implications for WWE's standing with NBCUniversal (Peacock streams WWE's biggest events) and Fox. Obviously many people on the talent roster might also not be in favor of this outcome.
Chris Welch / @chriswelch: Hours after Stephanie McMahon resigned as WWE co-CEO, Twitter is buzzing with rumors that the company — one of the biggest success stories in US entertainment history — has been sold to the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund and will be taken private. https://twitter.com/...

Jessika Carr / @wweladyrefjess: There aren't many people who I admire or want to model myself after more. Thank you Stephanie. https://twitter.com/...
Chris Welch / @chriswelch: The board pushed back, unanimously agreeing that McMahon's return would not serve the interest of shareholders. This didn't stop him. Vince made changes to the board (some members resigned) and returned earlier this week. Today he was elected executive chairman.
Stone Cold Shea Jackson / @osheajacksonjr: Damn. Not gonna lie this hit me in the heart. I've been a major fan of Stephanie and how she excelled in taking her family's name to new heights.

Arif Rafiq / @arifcrafiq: So sorry to hear this. Worked with Blake on many pieces for @ForeignPolicy beginning in 2009.
