Former WWE chairman Vince McMahon, who stepped down in July amid a sexual misconduct scandal, has plans to return to the company, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The Journal’s Joe Palazzolo and Ted Mann report that McMahon “has told people that he intends to make a comeback at WWE” and “has said that he received bad advice from people close to him to step down and that he now believes the allegations and investigations would have blown over had he stayed.”
The report also states that McMahon has been accused of assaulting a former spa manager at a Southern California resort in 2011—an allegation not previously reported in the media.
