Vince McMahon
Vince McMahon retired from WWE last year

According to new reports, WWE talent is allegedly concerned about Vince McMahon's return to creative.

Over the past few weeks, there has been speculation that Vince McMahon regretted his decision to retire and was planning on returning to the company. If that wasn't enough, there have also been rumors that Vince was planning to return and sell the company.

Today, these rumors were confirmed as Vince issued a press release stating that he wants to return to the company as Executive Chairman as he could enable the media rights negotiations and review any strategic alternatives.

As the news broke, Fightful Select reported that a top talent within WWE was asking what the possibilities were of Vince's return to creative. The chance that he could return to creative has been a concern among the talent.

Two sources within the creative department informed Fightful that they had not learned of any adjustments to their duties and said they were sent some notes for SmackDown shortly before the McMahon Wall Street Journal story.

The unanimous reaction that Fightful gained from the many people who commented on the matter was "bad news" or "news above their pay grade" that they wouldn't concern themselves with until they needed to.
