Vince McMahon's WWE Contract Hinges On Him Abiding By A Non Harassment Policy

Like it or not, Vince McMahon is firmly back and entrenched in day-to-day WWE life. While the company line was that he was back to oversee a sale, it seems that sale hinged on him being a part of the company moving forward, even after it was done. Mission accomplished as Endeavor will soon be the new owner of WWE in a deal that will merge the company with UFC, and McMahon will be an executive chairman of the newly merged company.

Clauses In McMahon's Contract

Prior to the sale being made official, WWE confirmed McMahon was an employee of the company again. An early indicator that the sale was about to happen. The Hollywood Reporter has now shared more details about what that contract includes. Turns out there are specific clauses in McMahon's deal that make reference to the company's equal opportunity and non-harassment policy.

The contract dictates that McMahon's employment under the new hierarchy hinges on his compliance with the above policy, as well as its code of conduct and conflict of interest. Likely clauses that are included in all of Endeavor's contracts, but words that leap off the page when connected to McMahon considering the allegations made against him right before he retired from all of his roles in WWE last summer.

Allegations Against McMahon

The reports that eventually led to McMahon leaving WWE for six months, rather than forever as was implied, began with allegations claiming he engaged in sexual relations with employees and then paid them millions not to talk about it. More serious accusations include claims McMahon sexually assaulted and even raped female employees in the past, hence the surprising series of events that has led to him coming back to WWE and even booking Raw last week.

McMahon's new deal under an Endeavor-run WWE is two years long, but the details above imply if the ongoing investigation into the chairman proves the accusations are true, his contract might well be terminated. Then again, as McMahon continues to prove he can weasel his way out of just about any situation, he and his new employers will probably claim since the alleged acts happened prior to the sale, they don't apply to his new deal.
