WWE is being linked to a possible deal to sell to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, according to reports.

The news follows Stephanie McMahon's resignation as co-CEO earlier on Tuesday after her father Vince McMahon appointed himself back to the WWE board of directors and was unanimously elected Executive Chairman of the Board.

In 2021, the Saudis became the majority owner of Premier League club Newcastle United. In 2022, they bankrolled LIV Golf's attempt to dethrone the PGA Tour as the premier golf competition in the world.
