Vince McMahon is allegedly dumping the WWE.

Seems that after failing at making XFL a thing... again!! Coronavirus screwing up with his WWE income and having some competition from AEW has put Mr. McMahon in an even fouler mood. So, allegedly, the enraged McMahon patriarch is interested in dumping the WWE on Fox and ESPN. To be honest, that combo seems a bit weird, since IT'S KINDA giving the WWE to Disney.

I used the term kinda since I'm not 100% sure at what section of fox McMahon is interested in selling it to... is it the Rupert Murdoch owned section of Fox, or is it the section owned by Mickey. I know ESPN is owned by Mickey, but at the same time the WWE is not exactly a real sport, which means it wouldn't have a place on ESPN... then again ESPN does Video games... but I kinda feel that the current slump the WWE is in (coronavirus aside) is Vincent Kennedy McMahon's fault. The decline of the WWE has been going on for years and in a way it would br a shame if they go under.

Assuming the rumor is true, my fear is that the WWE would crumble like WCW did after the AOL Time Warner Merger. But at the same time Vinnie Mac has been hemorrhaging money, but is getting rid of his main source of income a smart idea?

Also, if WWE falls, this would be REALLY BAD NEWS for Mattel.
