Vince back on board, WWE sale coming soon / WWE funeral thread

[Chris]

yeah but almost always when Saudi deals get leaked they happen. I also see a possibility where Vince had this deal pseudo done via back channels and that's why he forced his way back in to close. still gonna be a while until we hear official word but yeah usually where there is smoke there is fire. Gonna be a fun day

I think today is just going to be a lot of annoying speculation with nothing new and whatever sources were talking yesterday to whoever will be silent tbh

 

[Chris]

If the money is there, the only thing I think that would get Vince to back out is if he's convinced (by someone else) that it will hurt TV negotiations

lots of people coming out saying it's not true now, interestingly (Helwani, now Thurston )

but even then, if he has his money, why would he care about the new tv deal in theory

 

[Wiseman]

I think people need to realize this isn't like selling your old roller blades on FB marketplace. There are a lot of things that need to line up for any business that is currently profitable to be sold to anyone.

 

[Comrade Khan]

also true for sure and it could be verbally agreed upon but take a while to finalize. could also be some late suitors

 

[BSE]

So the deal with Saudi Arabia has been agreed to but it will take a while to finalize. Is this correct?

No, there is no confirmed report that the deal is even a for sure thing.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

I mean of course Helwani would be the first to break the "it's still not finalised" story

Gonna believe it's not happening only when a statement comes out denying it will ever happen. And even then I'll still doubt

 

[Chris]

That's why I said it'd take someone else to convince him why it'd be bad lol his first thought would be to put everything on Peacock or make a new network if NBC was mad

yeah new network makes a lot of sense to me if this deal goes through as well

 

[Leon TrotSky]

For the record this is word for word CM Punk's last tweet before he quit WWE (in addition to being a really good Dusty Rhodes promo)

 

[Chris]

Also a chance he's trying to use a Saudi deal potential to leverage more money from NBC which would be hilarious logic lmao

 

[Sabretooth]

Well I’m gonna go out on a limb right now and say WWE is not being sold to the Saudis. Let’s see if I’m right.

If it does say goodbye so Sami, Sonya, tribute to the trips. And maybe the womens division as a whole.
