The ongoing scandal broke last April when the Wall Street Journal published an expose looking into an internal WWE investigation into McMahon. It was alleged that McMahon had an affair with a company paralegal and after the relationship ended, McMahon paid the woman $3 million in return for signing a non-disclosure agreement. From there, further reports began to emerge, with McMahon being accused of crimes as serious as rape.

McMahon stepped down as the company’s CEO in June of that year and officially announced his retirement the following month, with son-in-law Paul “Triple H” Levesque taking over WWE’s creative reins. However, McMahon’s retirement wouldn’t last terribly long. The then-77-year-old reportedly settled a number of lawsuits against him and then reinstated himself to the board, announcing that WWE was up for sale and he’d be overseeing the process.

A few months later, McMahon made good on his word, as it was announced that WWE would be merging with the UFC under the banner of Endeavor. Just last month, the merger was made official, with both companies now existing together as TKO Group Holdings, Inc., while McMahon still retains his prominent role as Executive Chairman.
