Vince McMahon announces retirement on Twitter/Brock Lesnar walks out of WWE and then walks back in

Per WWE corporate site

Vince McMahon today released the following statement:

“As I approach 77 years old, I feel it’s time for me to retire as Chairman and CEO of WWE. Throughout the years, it’s been a privilege to help WWE bring you joy, inspire you, thrill you, surprise you, and always entertain you. I would like to thank my family for mightily contributing to our success, and I would also like to thank all of our past and present Superstars and employees for their dedication and passion for our brand. Most importantly, I would like to thank our fans for allowing us into your homes every week and being your choice of entertainment. I hold the deepest appreciation and admiration for our generations of fans all over the world who have liked, currently like, and sometimes even love our form of Sports Entertainment.

“Our global audience can take comfort in knowing WWE will continue to entertain you with the same fervor, dedication, and passion as always. I am extremely confident in the continued success of WWE, and I leave our company in the capable hands of an extraordinary group of Superstars, employees, and executives – in particular, both Chairwoman and Co-CEO Stephanie McMahon and Co-CEO Nick Khan. As the majority shareholder, I will continue to support WWE in any way I can. My personal thanks to our community and business partners, shareholders, and Board of Directors for their guidance and support through the years. Then. Now. Forever. Together.”

well im watching SD tonight now

SURELY NOT DUE TO THE INVESTIGATION!

Hopefully this means a huge facelift for the company. Lemme see what Triple H can do.

Waiting for Vince to change his name to just "McMahon" so no one can Google and find out about the allegations.

HHH to come out next NXT 2.0 and talk about an evolution and get Roddy Strong to pin Bron Breaker in 10 seconds.

Bray Wyatt will be on Smackdown later walking to the ring with Vince’s head as a lantern.

from "fuck em!" to "im retiring"..I guess something has been uncovered.

now he can buy impact and have his fun there

This would be amazing

Saved The Board the trouble of just tossing him.

What a moment! It's finally come! Thank you Vince for everything! I hope he see's my post!

Some reports that Brock has left Smackdown now. Should be fun to watch tonight.

Not good for the stock or the product. You now have non carnies running all of wrestling. This mightbe the moment wrestling dies. In 15 years looking back on this might be it.

It’s actually fucking happened. Wow.

“Co-CEO.” We’ll see how that works.

Brock reportedly walked out saying he has no interest in working for anyone but Vince

Oh boy

Really happy for Stephanie McMahon.

Hope order of business #1 is Kevin Dunn 'moving on' next. I also think many ideas in general Vince would say 'no' to Steph would say 'yes'....she's more fan cognizant than her father ever was.

There's still more that the WSJ haven't printed yet, and more they'll probably never be able to print.

Vince is getting ahead of something, and it must be a lot bigger than what we already know.

Oh they still have dirt on Kevin Dunn to print it sounds like

Imagine if a story dropped Monday about Vince covering up the murder of Nancy Argentino

Take down the Beaver!

I wanna send my condolences to all the paralegals out there who wont be able to become millionaires from consensual sex. Stay strong queens.

I really can’t believe they actually did it. After every scandal this guy survived without a scratch and this is the thing that took him down. Wow.

His profile is too high. If he was more on the outskirts like he was when the company was private and even its early days of public, it'd have been swept under the rug like the rest of them.

Lots of interesting things coming out of this.

Brock probably done for good.

Smackdown should see instant change. There is no one to rip up storylines 30 minutes before showtime. Tonight and RAW just became must see.

Nerfect, I know you are gonna say this won't change the product, but if he is truly gone, then this will be the make or break for the company. HHH and Stephanie in charge, I do believe will fully change the game.

If Brock does leave, this creates a huge opening for someone to offer him big dollars to go somewhere and make a bit of a splash. I can see Vince calling Brock and smoothing things over though. He wants his stock to remain high.

The idea of Vince starting his own promotion with Brock as his major attraction out the gate is surreal though.

Supposedly been confirmed by an insider that Brock has left.

Someone get Oldberg on the line, we need a short term fix for SS.

Also Maximum Male Models gonna come out and take out Reigns.

Have a 20 man battle royal to determine new contender

Montez Ford wins battle royal, has a great match at SummerSlam with Roman

But it could lead to fresh ideas that do progress things being implemented too. If Stephanie and Triple H want to push things in that direction or whether they actually subscribe to the idea that WWE was doing just splendid remains to be seen though.

It’s very fucking interesting, I’ll give you that.

No way Brock shows up somewhere else. His contract will be frozen so damn fast if he bailed.
