Ex-WWE boss Vince McMahon accused of reckless driving in Connecticut crash
WESTPORT, Conn. (WTNH) — State police in Connecticut say former WWE CEO Vince McMahon, the husband of Education Secretary Linda McMahon, was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving after allegedly causing a multi-vehicle crash last week. The three-vehicle crash took place on the morning of July 24 on a thoroughfare in Westport, according to an accident report from Connecticut State Police. Officials said McMahon, 79, was driving a 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed in a northbound lane when he allegedly rear-ended a 2023 BMW 430 in front of him. His car then hit a wooden median guardrail, sending debris over the median into the southbound lane and into the path of a 2020 Ford Fusion, the report indicates. Why Hulk Hogan descended upon American culture at exactly the right time No injuries were reported and all three parties were wearing seatbelts at the time. The airbags in McMahon's vehicle, along with the BMW, were deployed. The three vehicles were towed from the scene, state police said. About 30 feet of the median guardrail also suffered moderate damage. McMahon was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving and following too closely resulting in an accident. The report lists McMahon's address as the former WWE headquarters in Stamford. According to state police, he was released on a $500 non-surety bond and is scheduled to appear in Stamford Superior Court on Aug. 26. Family mourns 4 relatives who died in NC crash, thanks woman who helped rescue 5th The accident occurred the same day wrestling legend Hulk Hogan died at the age of 71. McMahon posted his condolences to X hours after the crash. 'The world lost a treasure today. Hulk Hogan was the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world,' his post read. Nexstar's WTNH has reached out to McMahon's representatives for comment. In 2022, McMahon stepped down as WWE's chief executive amid a company investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. He also resigned as executive chairman of the board of directors of TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of WWE, last year, a day after a former WWE employee filed a sexual abuse lawsuit against him. McMahon has denied the allegations. Vince and Linda McMahon are both accused in a separate suit of knowing about a ringside announcer who allegedly sexually abused young boys for years but doing nothing about it. They have denied those accusations as well.

Ronda Rousey's WWE Return Teased By Popular Star
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE superstar Bianca Belair has weighed in on the possibility of Ronda Rousey making a future return to the company. In a new podcast interview, the "EST of WWE" stated that she believes fans might see the UFC Hall of Famer back in a WWE ring one day. Rousey had two impactful runs with WWE but has not been with the company since her departure in the summer of 2023. Belair's comments have once again sparked discussion about a potential third run for the combat sports legend. A Royal Rumble Return? While speaking on the latest episode of the Dope As Usual podcast, Bianca Belair was asked about Ronda Rousey's time in WWE. Belair noted that in wrestling, the door is never truly closed for a major star. "I mean, I always say with wrestling, anything can happen. People always, they come back, they come in, they leave, they come back," Belair said. "We have a Royal Rumble, which is like a jumpstart to the road to WrestleMania with 30 women inside the ring. We have surprise entrances. She may come back at a Royal Rumble one day." The Rousey Effect Ronda Rousey's arrival in WWE in 2018 was a monumental event for the company. As one of the biggest and most recognizable stars in the history of mixed martial arts, she brought a new level of mainstream attention and legitimacy to the women's division. Her debut year was a massive success, culminating in her being part of the first-ever all-female main event of WrestleMania in 2019, where she defended the Raw Women's Championship. Above, Rousey attends the Premiere Of STX Films' "Mile 22" at Westwood Village Theatre on August 9, 2018 in Westwood, California.

Photo byHer second run, which began with a surprise victory in the 2022 Royal Rumble match, saw her capture the SmackDown Women's Championship. While her relationship with the WWE fan base was sometimes contentious, her star power and impact on the business are undeniable. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match A Dream Match That Never Was During Rousey's second run, Bianca Belair was also at the top of the women's division as the Raw Women's Champion. Despite both women being dominant champions on opposing brands at the same time, a major one-on-one feud between the two never materialized. A match between Belair's powerhouse athleticism and Rousey's legitimate MMA background remains one of the biggest "what if" dream matches of the modern era. Belair acknowledged Rousey's contributions in the interview. "Right now she's not in WWE, but she was here and she brought so many new eyes to the product," she stated. "She was amazing and I don't know, we might see her again one day." More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports
