There's Speculation That Disney Could Eventually Buy WWE

It’s no secret that Disney loves to buy and capitalize on other properties. Their purchases of Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox have taken Disney to an epic level. Now there’s speculation that Disney might be looking to buy another huge entertainment company, and that is the WWE.

Former WWE Superstar Ryback recently did an interview with Chris Van Vilet, and in it, he said that the future of the promotion would include Vince McMahon selling the company to Disney. In the process he pointed out the relationship WWE already has with the Fox Corporation with Friday Night Smack Down airing on Fox and WWE Backstage airing on Tuesday nights on Fox Sports 1.

"I think there's something going on with Fox and Disney, and I think if they take over WWE at some point, which I firmly believe they will. 100%. That is my personal opinion. I don't see [Triple H] sticking around like Vince. Just from stuff that I feel like I understand (and) what's going on. Someone has to take it over and they've gotten so big, it's going to take someone like that to run. Personally, they have dumbed down the product and made it very simple to run for a big corporation to takeover. Take out the psychology that made it and anyone can run it.

"Vince has already handed over to Fox on decisions, on SmackDown. It's already going on. He's never been like that before. I believe it's the first part in the process with the XFL coming up. Running a major football promotion, do you know how much time and effort that takes? I think it's the beginning steps of something bigger going on."

Now, just because Disney bought Fox back in March doesn’t mean that WWE is directly working with Disney. But with the ties and the popularity, it certainly is possible that Disney could one day decide to buy the WWE. Do you think that’s something they would end up doing? What would you think if Disney did buy WWE?
