Nick Khan provides more information on Vince McMahon‘s return to WWE from his recent surgery.
WWE President Nick Khan was a recent guest on The Bill Simmons Podcast. When asked about Vince McMahon’s recent spinal surgery, Khan said he’s progressing quite well and is back on his feet.
“Well, look, I assume that he’s doing it faster than he should be doing it with,” Nick Khan said. “Which one might say, ‘Hey, slow down, slow down.’ But again, I don’t think to the Vinces and the Danas of the world there is any slowing down. So he seems to be progressing quite well. It was major back surgery. He’s back on his feet.
“Again, this is going to air on Tuesday, the day of the bell ringing. If you will, you will have seen Vince at the bell ringing, ringing that bell center stage as a controlling shareholder of WWE. I’ve always said to him, ‘Hey, it’s your company. Thank you for allowing it to become our company.’ But it’s a big moment for him. He’ll be there. I’m sure he’ll be suited up as he most always is. And he’ll be ready to go.”
Vince McMahon is often in touch with Triple H in regards to creative
When asked if he expects Vince to be back running things again in the near future, Khan believes everyone will continue to share the load.
“Well, look, I think there’s always a share with Vince,” Nick Khan said. “So I’ll give you an example. When I started with the company, and we’re going through org charts and all this corporate boring stuff.
“And I said to Vince, I said, ‘Vince, these folks who have worked with you, Kevin Dunn, Paul Levesque for decades. It would be absurd to put them under me. What am I going to say to Kevin Dunn? Why did you call Vince McMahon directly on this issue? Because he can talk to anyone you want at any time. The more calibrated we are, the better the results are, in my opinion.’
“And that’s what we set out to do. I think that’s what we did. Vince has earned the right to call people about whatever he’d like to discuss as it relates to WWE. He’ll call me with different business side deals that have happened. We’ll have a dialogue about it. He’s often in touch with Paul on the creative side. And that’s what he’s done.”
