Speaking of WWE kind of surprised no one has mentioned Dwayne Johnson getting a seat on the Board of Directors at TKO Group. Not that it may mean anything imminently for the UFL, but if Ari Emanuel is serious about branching out his empire there could be some type of tie-in or even ownership stake in the future.
As long as Vince McMahon stays away from the UFL, Ari Emmanuel will be fine.
I don't think Vince is long for being on that board.

Concur, he's 78. He got to do what Ted Turner didn't, walk away with billions (that said Turner Broadcasting was his company, WCW was just a division; whereas WWF/E was literally Vince's entire life).
Not to suggest he's content with riding off into the the retirement villa, in fact it's the opposite, it gives him more ammo to call the shots (why would he settle on being "one of"?).

I was thinking more along the lines that he may get forced out, and soon. Those allegations that came out in the court filing yesterday were so bad I don't know how any board could even dance around them.

Allegations ie money grab. Its too easy to allege (ie makeup) today. Look at the PK from Buffalo allegations! The "victim" dropped the charges in exchange for him dropping counter suit, how fair. Ruined his career over bogus crapola. This case goes no where but will likely be settled anyway. Vince should retire as merger done but either way TKO just needs to ignore it.

Well I was wondering where all this sudden enthusiasm for the RBC tenure came from...................
His board role is more emeritus than anything else.

TKO is probably going to remove him. It's not just allegations, its text messages too. I don't want him anywhere near the UFL. Ari Emmanuel? He would be fine to own the UFL in the future if he wants it. Vince is a disgusting human being and those allegations are totally on par with the type of person he is.

Its allegation of texts. VM is no where near the UFL already this is a VM/TKO issue and I'll take VM's side in these money grab lawsuits,
Netflix knows what they are doing. They are connecting with almost the biggest and most popular sports. They have documentaries about basketball, football, and F1, but not even WWE. I know they do this for marketing reasons, but I love what they do.
