The company will become private, according to DAZN reporter Steven Muehlhausen, who added that it is unknown whether founder and former CEO Vince McMahon, who recently returned to the company as executive chairman, will return as the head of creative.The report of the sale comes just hours after CEO Stephanie McMahon, Vince's daughter, announced her resignation from the company.

Another report has stated that while the deal has been agreed to in principle, it won't be finalized until WWE notifies shareholders and other parties because it is a publicly traded company.
