Ari Emanuel Willing To Remove 'Anyone & Everyone' From WWE Following Vince McMahon's Resignation

A clean-up might soon be underway within WWE following Vince McMahon's resignation from the company. McMahon resigned as TKO Executive Chairman after he was accused of sex trafficking, sexual misconduct, and emotional and physical abuse in a lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant that also listed WWE and John Laurinaitis as defendants. 

It emerged following McMahon's resignation that TKO may "sweep out" the former WWE owner's allies. It has since been noted by PWInsider that Ari Emanuel, the CEO of Endeavor and TKO, will have no problem "removing anything and anyone still remaining" in WWE that could potentially harm the company's business going forward, with sources pointing to Emanuel walking away from Saudi Arabia "without blinking an eye" as an example of his past decisions. 

It was also noted that people "don't know" Emanuel if they think he wanted to discover the allegations that were made against McMahon, especially as his own daughter had worked at WWE HQ for several years, and people "don't understand how 'ferociously he will eradicate' anything that needs to be taken care of to protect his businesses."

A number of Vince McMahon allies, including Kevin Dunn and John Laurinaitis, are no longer with WWE. Bruce Prichard, however, has found himself accused of being "Vince's avatar" by former WWE star Ronda Rousey and there is no word on his future within the company. 

Knowledge of McMahon's actions was reportedly widespread enough within WWE that "everyone knew certain things." At least one person outside of the company also knew about the seriousness of McMahon's alleged actions.
