Former WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon has started a new business venture, establishing an investment firm named 14TH & I. This new entity will pursue opportunities across the sports, media, and entertainment sectors.
According to Brandon Thurston of WrestleNomics, public filings from September 20, 2024, show McMahon registered three limited liability companies in Connecticut: 14TH & I Holdings LLC, 14TH & I Investments LLC, and 14TH & I Management LLC.
All three entities were formed in Delaware and share the same Stamford, Connecticut, address as their principal office. McMahon is named as the managing member for at least two of these, with 14TH & I Holdings listed as a member of the others.
Further indicating the firm’s scope, two related trademark applications were filed on August 23, 2024, for “14TH&I” and “14TH & I.” These applications cover business classes for private equity fund investment and entertainment production, suggesting 14TH & I intends to do both investment activities and the development of scripted programming.
Former WWE executive Brad Blum is serving as the President of 14TH & I.Blum’s verified LinkedIn profile describes the company:
“14th & I is a private investment firm focused on the sports, media, & entertainment sectors. We are a disciplined, flexible, long-term capital and strategic partner, primarily targeting buyouts/majority deals, as well as selective growth-oriented minority investments.” The description continues, “We seek to partner with and empower exceptional management teams, providing deep expertise, capability, and relationships to help drive significant long-term value.”
McMahon resigned from WWE and TKO Group Holdings in January 2024, amidst serious allegations. He remains a defendant in multiple lawsuits, including one filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant alleging sexual assault and trafficking, which McMahon denies. You can read the full report here.
