In an interview with CNBC’s Alex Sherman, TKO chief operating officer Mark Shapiro was asked about Vince McMahon.
Revealing he had breakfast with the former chairman to “check in” following the recent drop of the Netflix docuseries Mr. McMahon, Shapiro stated:
He’s got some litigation that he’s working through, and frankly, he wants the privacy and the time to work through it which is great, because in the meantime we’re going to keep building TKO and WWE.
He couldn’t have been more cooperative. He couldn’t have been nicer. I mean, he was a total pro at breakfast, if you will.
Shapiro reaffirmed that McMahon has nothing to do with TKO Group and makes no decisions.
While he is not asked for opinions despite being a shareholder, the executive did note that McMahon “couldn’t have been more positive” about the direction of WWE.
McMahon is currently facing a lawsuit filed against him by Janel Grant, which has been paused pending a federal investigation regarding allegations of sexual trafficking and sexual and emotional abuse.
