Okay, here’s my blog post about figuring out when Vince McMahon stepped away from WWE creative, written in a casual, personal style:
So, I’ve been a wrestling fan forever, right? And the whole Vince McMahon saga is just… wild. I wanted to get the timeline straight in my head about when he actually stopped being the big boss of creative, because it felt like one minute he was there, the next he was “retired,” and then… back? It was confusing!
I started by doing what anyone would do – hitting up the all-knowing Google. I typed in a bunch of searches, like “Vince McMahon retires,” “Vince McMahon returns to WWE,” and obviously, “when did vince mcmahon leave creative.” It brought up tons of articles, news reports, and even some Reddit threads (gotta love Reddit!).
Digging Through the Dirt
First I needed gather to all messages.
- I opened my browser.
- I typed my questions.
- I collected all relative information from different websites.
It became clear pretty quickly that there were TWO key dates to keep in mind. The first one was in July 2022. That’s when all the initial “retirement” announcements happened. It was huge news at the time – headlines everywhere! A lot of the articles I found from that period talked about the allegations against him and the investigation that was going on.
It looks like the offical announcenment is July 22,2022.
But then… plot twist! He was back! My searching found multiple sources that confirmed Vince’s return to the WWE board of directors in early 2023. Some sites even stated he had returned to an executive chairman position .
I learned that Vince McMahon had a short time of leaving WWE.
So, to sum it all up, based on my little internet deep dive, here’s what I figured out:
- July 2022: Vince McMahon “officially” retires and supposedly leaves creative control.
- Early 2023:Vince is back.
It’s kind of crazy how it all went down, huh? It shows how much things can change, and how quickly, even in a massive company. I have finally get it straight!
