In the last few hours, there has been a lot of talk about the possibility that the owners of Aew are the ones who would buy WWE, as was done with ROH, the problem is that WWE definitely has much higher costs than Ring Of Honor and it would not be an investment that everyone could afford.
But let's see how PW Insider had considered this hypothesis, just a few days ago, whose journalists on his pages have written as follows in the last few days: "First if Vince is going to sell, he will sell for several billion dollars, he will give the total power of the WWE to someone who will use it from now on (at most he could make a deal with some competent lawyer).
In exchange for money, he agrees to relinquish the power of his inheritance. He may hope to carry it on but once he sells, he leaves any kind of control unless he then finds a way to buy it back. I'm sure the Khans could pool the money to buy it if they wanted but it would be very expensive and as mentioned above, if the TV rights and their deals change for the worse, it's also a bad investment.
WWE and its future have become really, really dependent on broadcast rights."
Eric Bischoff on the future of WWE
In his last speech to the microphones of 83 Weeks, the well-known former executive of WCW and WWE, Eric Bischoff, wanted to talk about the possibility of AEW to take over WWE, with the well-known former director of Smackdown stating quite directly: "To buy WWE would be a big, giant move.
I don't think it will. Now, could that happen? Of course, nothing is impossible. But if you really think about it, I think the Khans' company, their infrastructure, their ability to run a company, their wisdom, are not up to the WWE.
They may be in the same business, but they don't live and play in the same universe." The wrestling legend mentioned that if the Khan family is to buy WWE, Vince should also have significant personal investment to show commitment to the acquisition.
"So again, just like Vince would probably have to put up half a billion a billion dollars of his own money because they [Khan family] want to see that, okay, if you're going to lead this charge and we're going to jump on your team here to do this and make this acquisition, we want to know that you have skin in the game too.
We are not just buying your name and your reputation, they want to know that you're in it to win it, and the same would be true with the Khan family."
