Even though he is embroiled in an ongoing lawsuit against him, former WWE CEO Vince McMahon is still looking to get back into the business of being a promoter.
Justin Burrasso reported today that the 79-year old has made moves to purchase a controlling interest in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). Their founder, David Feldman, also confirmed that he met with McMahon and that he is "resolute" about a return to promoting:
"He’s a great guy, his whole team is great, but the timing wasn’t right for us He’s Vince McMahon–if I were him, I’d want creative control, too. He was awesome, very complimentary, and he was very serious to do business."
The report also noted that in speaking with multiple executives within combat sports and pro wrestling, many belief that McMahon will end up back in the professional wrestling space and that if he chooses that route, investors would likely be willing to put in money for a wrestling-project led by a pioneer in the field. McMahon recently filed documents suggesting he will be starting a new "sports entertainment" company called "14th & I" that did not mention wrestling specifically.
