Vince was accused of serious charges
This series also shows McMahon’s departure from WWE. In 2022, Vince McMahon resigned from the post of CEO, but in 2023 Vince made a surprising return to the company’s board. However, in the same year, due to pressure due to serious allegations like sexual harassment, he again resigned permanently.
In addition to business accomplishments, the documentary also highlights the controversies that have surrounded McMahon over the years. These include a high-profile steroid scandal involving WWE talent and numerous sexual assault allegations, which Vince McMahon has consistently denied.
