Vince McMahon Starts New Company With Call-Back To WWE's Beginnings

Public filings show McMahon registered three LLCs in Connecticut—14TH & I Holdings, 14TH & I Investments, and 14TH & I Management—on September 20, 2024. McMahon is named as the managing member of at least two entities, and former WWE executive Brad Blum is listed as President of the firm. According to Blum’s verified LinkedIn profile (h/t to Wrestlenomics):

“14th & I is a private investment firm focused on the sports, media, & entertainment sectors. He adds:

“We are a disciplined, flexible, long-term capital and strategic partner, primarily targeting buyouts/majority deals, as well as selective growth-oriented minority investments. We seek to partner with and empower exceptional management teams, providing deep expertise, capability, and relationships to help drive significant long-term value.”

There is no indication that 14TH & I is involved in professional wrestling. McMahon still owns a stake in TKO, but a return to WWE appears unlikely, especially given his ongoing involvement in legal battles.

No, Vince McMahon Is Not Buying WWE

Rumors started this past week, sparked by former WWE personality Jonathan Coachman, that Vince was highly interested in purchasing WWE if it became available. The timing of the news that Vince has a name for his new company might suggest that these rumors are true (or at least provide a runway for conspiracy theorists to create their own news). However, the idea that Vince would have the funds necessary to buy WWE, or that it is even for sale, is a stretch.

Just because Vince wants something doesn't mean he's got the wherewithal or the means to make it happen.

As for what projects or businesses Vince might have his eyes on, time will tell. He may not even get back into the wrestling business, instead choosing to focus on other ideas or startups that keep him from competing with the entertainment powerhouse he was largely responsible for building.
