For months there have been rumors and reports that Vince McMahon would sell WWE, the professional wrestling company he turned into a multi-billion dollar entity.
It appears that the sale is finally happening.
According to Alex Sherman at CNBC, WWE is set to merge with Ari Emanuel’s Endeavor, the parent company of the UFC.
“A deal could be announced as soon as Monday,” said Sherman. UFC and WWE are expected to form a new publicly traded company as part of the agreement, according to the people, who declined to be named due to the confidential nature of the discussions.”
