Would all the women automatically be a Disney Princess at that point? Thats the real question.

I would love to see Santina Marella representing as a Disney Princess!

WWE is looking to sell the company by the middle of 2023, according to Dave Meltzer.

On Wednesday's Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer said he had a long conversation with people from WWE Wednesday where they gave the timeline in which they hope to have the company sold with JP Morgan assisting them as previously reported by CNBC.

Meltzer said the media players that have been speculated about are in the mix as is Saudi Arabia.

Regarding the rumor that circulated Tuesday that WWE had been sold to the country's Public Investment Fund, Meltzer said "there was smoke" to the story but way too early to be finalized. Selling to the Saudis appears to be the only option if they want to take the company private, he noted.

WWE CEO Nick Khan was in Los Angeles Monday for the NCAA college football title game meeting with "heavy hitters" that included Disney CEO Bob Iger and ESPN head Jimmy Pitaro, according to Meltzer.

Endeavor, owners of UFC, are "also in the hunt."

He said Vince McMahon is facilitating working on the sale, but Khan is running the company. He acknowledged that always could change due to the rapid pace of change within WWE right now.

Meltzer will be on Dan Le Batard's show on Thursday to discuss more about this situation.

I think Conrad Thompson owns the rights to the Jim Crockett Promotions name so what you're saying is Conrad has bought WWE?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

it will be sold before the next TV deal, I could see like right after mania or right before.

Absolutely, then he gives his father-in-law a job again and then Ric is reunited with his buddy Hunter. The dots are being connected!

Yeah I think this is a really important factor from my uninformed fan opinion. You'd think a buyer would want to be involved with negotiations so they wouldn't want to buy them too close to the expiry dates, but idk how early TV stuff could be agreed upon, maybe buyers would wait until a deal is in place for stability? It feels messy since NBC is a top potential buyer and would also he the ones negotiating TV deals for the USA network

You guys are all idiots. Donald Trump is obviously the buyer.

A bit of historical perspective from Dave. So many lies before the sale was official, same for WCW according to the replies. I imagine WWE would be the same.
