It was previously reported that Vince McMahon is looking to get as much as $9 billion in a potential sale of WWE. McMahon returned to WWE’s Board Of Directors in January with the intention of executing a sale of the company and negotiating new television deals.
On the latest edition of his Kliq This podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash explained that McMahon may have deliberately overvalued WWE to reduce the chances of it actually being sold. Nash said,
“It’s almost like I have no intention of selling my house. But if someone called me up and said ‘I’ll give you $3.5 million,’ I’m selling my house. But if you give me market value for it, it’s like, ‘Nah, man.’“
