While there are still some details to be ironed out, we now have a clearer timeline for when the merger is expected to be completed.
According to Endeavor’s second quarter earnings report, the merger is projected to be finalized by mid to late September at the latest. This means that in just a couple of months, we will witness the dawn of a new era for WWE under the TKO Group’s ownership.

It will be interesting to see how this merger will impact the future of WWE and what changes might be implemented once the transition is complete. Fans and industry insiders alike are eagerly awaiting the unveiling of the new WWE under its new parent company.
While WWE’s sale to Endeavor is a groundbreaking event, it is not the first time WWE has undergone major changes in ownership. Throughout its history, WWE has made several significant acquisitions that have shaped the company’s trajectory.
In the meantime, speculation is rife about what this change will mean for WWE and how the company will be transformed under the TKO Group’s leadership. Will there be alterations to the creative direction, talent roster, or overall brand strategy? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain – the landscape of professional wrestling is about to undergo a seismic shift.
