5 Things that could happen if Vince McMahon sold WWE

#1. With Vince McMahon gone, focus on building megastars could re-emerge

Vince McMahon hasn't created any megastars since John Cena in 2005

Vince McMahon realized something years ago - It's better to have the WWE brand as a big draw rather than a single superstar or megastar. Is it a coincidence that the company hasn't been able to build a megastar since John Cena? Naturally, Roman Reigns' name emerges, but it's simply not the same as it was with Hulk Hogan, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin, The Rock, and John Cena.

McMahon has prioritized making Reigns WWE's top star, but it seems unlikely that The Tribal Chief will emerge as a company megastar.

It isn't just WWE that has taken this approach. After Conor McGregor shattered pay-per-view records with the UFC, his inactivity became a problem. A large chunk of their pay-per-view revenue in a calendar year depended on McGregor, and the UFC felt the need to make the brand the star rather than a single fighter.

WWE was much earlier in their change in approach and it can be seen on the decreasing reliance on big names for major shows. Another example is how WrestleMania itself is a brand name that can attract tens of thousands of people to travel from across the United States and the world to a single stadium each year.

With Vince McMahon selling WWE and departing, the party in charge may change the approach and focus on building megastars over keeping the company name as the big star attraction. However, that is largely dependent on the level of popularity that pro wrestling has and maintains
