I know it's impossible to say at this point, but I wonder what it means for the production side of the company. Maybe they'd keep WWE's production team? Surely they'd have more experience, especially with multiple weekly live and taped shows, with touring, and everything?
OK, OK, what I really meant was is Kevin Dunn retiring now?

Wow! What an eventful 24 hours it has been I think we kind of got the hint that whatever was going to happen was likely to happen after Mania, but I didn't think it'd be less than 12 hours after Mania (and seemingly leaked before the second half of Mania).

$9.3 billion is absolutely insane. Manchester United are the biggest or at worst second biggest (it's either them or Real Madrid) sports entity in the world and they're expected to be sold for "only" around 5-6B.
Makes you wonder if Endeavor, obviously knowing this announcement was coming today, requested that Roman be the champion/face for this transition period and that's why he won last night or if it was always the plan anyway.

So how long before Vince goes full inoki and started booking WWE wrestler to do UFC fights?

9 billion?
Was Elon Musk in charge of the sale?

Well, I guess all things considered I wish WWE well in its future as Endeavor. ..

Probably the best case scenario from a sale perspective, outside of maybe Comcast buying it (though that would come with its own difficulties). 1000x better than if Saudi bought it and it went private again.

never thought I would see a WWE not 75%+ owned by a Mcmahon/Mcmahon-Levesque.
now Vince has higher ups to answer to, how long before he does something that'll get him fired (again.)?

Those same higher ups did nothing to Dana White when he slapped his wife on camera. So Vince has a lot of rope to work with here

Well, it happened. Here's hoping Saturday wasn't the last gasp of "classic WWE" we'll ever see again.
Lots of uncertainty ahead.
