There were a lot of people who believed that Vince McMahon would eventually return to WWE when he retired last year. One of them was WWE CEO Nick Khan, according to whom ‘there is only one boss in the company.’
Khan recently appeared on The Bill Simmons podcast (H/t Cultaholic) where he discussed the recent shake ups in WWE. Speaking about McMahon’s surprising return, the WWE executive said that he saw it coming:
‘When you’re on the inside, you see things that may be coming. My thought was that there’s only one boss in the company, and that ain’t me. I think it was always my point of view, Stephanie’s point of view he would come back.”

Nick Khan also praised Vince McMahon for playing things smartly. He claimed that he applauds the boss for using his authority:
“The way he played it to me was smart in that he went away for five, six months which people, meaning the audience, seems to like when somebody does that and he came back and took control back of his company as a company shareholder. So it is the public’s company as a publicly traded company. But with that, the controlling share gave him a lot of authority, and he used it, and I applaud him for doing so.’
