Over the past few years, WWE has moved away from having a significant association with Vince McMahon. During his last couple of years in the limelight, McMahon, who used to be the chairman of the company, lost control as an initial investigation into sexual misconduct led to his retirement and then return, eventually resulting in his resignation. Currently, McMahon is being investigated for accusations of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. His resignation took place in January, shortly after WWE announced a major deal with Netflix – set to bring the popular show WWE Monday Night Raw to the streaming service starting in January 2025. Journalists have probed figures like WWE’s Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, and John Cena about McMahon at press conferences, but all WWE personnel and personalities have chosen to focus on the company’s future instead of its past.
