Former WWE chairman Vince McMahon was involved in a minor car accident last Thursday and issued a citation for reckless driving.

According to a report from TMZ Sports, Vince McMahon was driving his 2024 Bentley when he hit a BMW 430 from behind on Route 15 in Westport, Connecticut. The BMW hit a guardrail, with a Ford Fusion also involved in the collision.

Despite significant damage to the vehicles, nobody was seriously injured. Per the report from TMZ, McMahon was cited “reckless driving and following too closely resulting in an accident” with an August court date to be announced.

TMZ obtained photos of the aftermath of the collision:

It was noted that all drivers were wearing their seatbelts, too. So let that remind you of the importance of wearing your seatbelt when on the road, whether as a driver or passenger. No exceptions.

In July 2022, Vince McMahon resigned as the CEO and chairman of WWE following a damning report that he paid hush money to cover up disturbing sexual misconduct allegations.

However, McMahon returned to the WWE’s Board of Directors in January 2023 and helped orchestrate the promotion’s sale to Endeavor Group Holdings soon after. In Sept. 2023, WWE and UFC merged to form a new publicly traded company called TKO worth $21.4 billion.

In January 2024, McMahon resigned again from WWE and TKO after former employee Janel Grant filed a lawsuit, accusing him of sexually assaulting and trafficking her.

WWE Has Enjoyed Positive Changes Since Vince McMahon’s Departure

WWE has changed for the better under the guidance of McMahon’s son-in-law, Paul Levesque, also known by his ring name as Triple H. Now serving as the chief content officer, Levesque scored a major broadcasting deal for Monday Night Raw and premium live events on Netflix.

He managed to bring back CM Punk after a nine-year absence and got WWE and the rival TNA promotion to sign a partnership. McMahon was notoriously unwilling to work with rival companies.
