It was reported that McMahon was planning a sale of the business upon his return to the corporation’s board.
CNBC reported that the WWE has tapped the4 services of US financial services firm JP Morgan as an adviser to a potential sale and that a deal would likely take place within three to six months.
WWE had a market capitalization of over US$6 billion on 6th January, with its stock rising by nearly 17 percent.
Among the parties expected to make a bid are Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) edia conglomerate Comcast and agency giant Endeavor.
