WWE stated McMahon’s daughter Stephanie and former talent agent Nick Khan would be appointed as co-CEOs. Since the management shakeup, several analysts have told their clients that the company is primed for a takeover.
“I think the key if there were a sale of the WWE is to make sure that whoever acquires that brand in that property, you've got to love the wrestling business.
"We think WWE’s current operational shakeup and market consideration related to the value of live content is optimal for an acquisition attempt," said Benchmark Company analyst Mike Hickey in an August research note. “[WWE co-CEO] Nick [Khan] and I have talked about that, and we always enjoy that over a bottle of Teremana [Johnson’s tequila brand],” Johnson said. “I love the wrestling business. I grew up in it. My grandfather [and] my dad started here in Canada, where [his father] was born. So, I'm not quite too sure if a board seat is in my future, but possibly other things are in my future, for sure.”
