Vincent K. McMahon has divested another substantial portion of his holdings in TKO Group Holdings, Inc., the parent company of WWE and UFC. According to a Form 4 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission dated today, June 4, 2025, McMahon executed the sale of TKO stock on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
The filing details that McMahon sold 1,579,080 shares of TKO Class A common stock at a price of $158.32 per share. This transaction resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $250,003,056 for McMahon before any applicable fees or taxes. The sale was conducted as a single transaction.
This stock sale further reduces Vince McMahon’s stake in TKO Group Holdings, a company formed in September 2023 through the merger of WWE, which McMahon led for decades, and Endeavor-owned UFC. McMahon had transitioned from his role as Executive Chairman of TKO and resigned from the TKO board of directors in January 2024 amidst serious allegations detailed in a lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant.
Despite his departure from executive and board roles, McMahon remained a significant shareholder in TKO due to his prior ownership stake in WWE. This recent sale on June 3rd follows other substantial stock sales he has made since the formation of TKO and particularly after his resignation. For example, he sold a significant block of shares in March and April 2024.
The reasons behind this latest multi-million dollar stock sale were not detailed in the Form 4 filing, which is standard for such disclosures. These filings are mandatory for company insiders, including major shareholders, to report their trading activity in company stock.
While the filing indicates the number of shares sold and the price, it does not specify McMahon’s total remaining shares in TKO Group Holdings following this transaction. However, with each sale, his direct financial tie to the wrestling and mixed martial arts conglomerate diminishes.
The continued selling of TKO stock by its founder and former long-time leader is a noteworthy development for investors and observers of the company. It marks another step in McMahon’s financial disentanglement from the sports entertainment empire he was instrumental in building.
