Many media outlets have informed that VINCE MCMAHON has sold WWE.

those media sources are pretty much Internet Wrestling News sites with reporters who normally violates journalism ethnics, pro wrestling news media has always been referred to as "The Dirt Sheets" for a reason, because they can't separate fact from rumor.

plus at this point, i think legit business news sources would had confirmed the WWE was sold before the wrestling news reporters broke the news, pretty much random speculation was what caused this rumor to snowball Tuesday night and it all cause Stephanie McMahon stepped down from the Board as Chairwoman and co-CEO and Vince becoming Executive Chairman and Nick Khan becoming sole CEO. this is a difficult time ahead for WWE and it's fans too.
 
Update:
1. Nick Khan met with recently unretired and rehired Disney CEO Bob Iger and ESPN President James Pitaro to see if he can convince Disney/ESPN to buy WWE, per Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer.

2. The other Khans (who have no relations to Nick) in wrestling, the father/son duo of Jacksonville Jaguars owners, Shad & Tony Khan are considering buying WWE out to merge it with their own promotion (and WWE's main rival these days) All Elite Wrestling as well as it's de facto sister promotion Ring Of Honor Wrestling (which Tony himself acquired in March of 2022).

CNBC's report of the potential to make a bigger wrestling monopoly via AEW/WWE merger with AEW being the ones that are buying:
WWE's smaller rival AEW interested in merger, sources say.
 
today's round of updates:

Vince is back in the office and ordering changes to the company, creative so far seems to not have a change yet:
Vince McMahon is back at the office and suggesting changes

Paul Lesvesque aka Triple H held talent meetings before both Friday's SmackDown and tonight's Raw to assure Vince is not back in charge of creative and talent relations yet, but it's most likely a "Damage Control" type of thing (and i don't mean the women's tag team championship holding stable of Bayley, Iyo Sky fka Io Shirai and Dakota Kai which is also called Damage CTRL):

The report of Friday's meeting:
Triple H holds talent meeting prior to WWE SmackDown

The report of Today's meeting:
Triple H holds talent meeting prior to WWE Raw

The WWE has jumped the shark. They've been way behind the curve when it comes to social media, and growing or filling audiences for a new generation. Now here they are; like an old girlfriend who shows up at your door stinking of booze, living in a van down by the river, begging you to take her back.

Bob Iger is smarter than that. Kind of like AM radio; people need to understand that WWE, or entertainment wrestling with steroid-jacked actors, needs to become a paragraph in the entertainment history books. Younger people who aren't living in 'single-wide's', don't care about this sort of thing.
