WWE has been acquired by the Endeavor Group, and the billion-dollar wrestling company will now be merged with the UFC to form a new publicly traded entity that will trade under the symbol TKO with a market valuation of $21 billion.
On the latest edition of the Wrestling With Freddie podcast, former WWE creative team writer Freddie Prinze Jr. discussed WWE’s sale to Endeavor, and hoped that Vince McMahon will allow Paul “Triple H” Levesque to oversee WWE’s creative product.
As we previously reported here on eWn, Vince McMahon is firmly back in control of WWE creative following WrestleMania 39 weekend.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below.
On who Endeavor wants to run WWE: “If it’s Vince, then I don’t know what that does to Hunter. Hunter’s been the driving force behind the improvement.”
On Vince McMahon trusting Triple H enough to run creative: “Hopefully he trusts Hunter enough to leave Hunter in charge because I really feel like Hunter’s got a great eye for talent. He’s got a great eye for stories. He knows who can pull things off and who can’t.”
