Vince McMahon's departure from TKO/WWE continues to make headlines around the world. The decision to resign from his position as Executive President of the company has been pleasantly received by the majority of fans, who wanted his name to no longer be associated with the WWE brand.
Once his departure was confirmed, WWE and TKO began cleaning their official websites, as some media have been able to verify. For starters, McMahon has been removed from his list of TKO Board of Directors members on the company's website. A logical move, on the other hand.
More drastic has been the action taken on the official WWE website: McMahon's bio in the "WWE Superstars" section has also been removed from WWE.com. To do so, the company has chosen to delete it directly, instead of moving it to the "Alumni" section, as is usually done in these cases. Right now, there are very few results when searching for Vince McMahon's name on the WWE website.
As a curious fact, with his departure from WWE, for the first time in the company's history, no direct member of the McMahon family officially works for the company. It should be remembered that it was founded in 1950 by Jess and Vincent J. McMahon under the name of Capitol Wrestling.
With this move, TKO and WWE hope to alleviate the consequences of Janel Grant's lawsuit, which has brought with it two of the most difficult days for the new company owned by Endeavor. Now, with McMahon out of the equation, the parent company seems willing to carry out a personnel cleanup to put an end to all those people close to the former chairman in one fell swoop, in order to regain the trust of fans, shareholders and business partners.
