The deal could be announced as early as Monday, according to insiders, with Endeavor holding 51% of the newly combined company&#8217;s shares and WWE shareholders holding the remaining 49%. Both companies have yet to comment. <\/p>\n<p>Endeavor&#8217;s market value currently stands at $11.3bn, while WWE has a market capitalisation of $6.8bn after shares soared over 30% in 2021. Endeavor is helmed by Hollywood executive Ari Emanuel, who has spearheaded over 20 acquisitions as part of an effort to transform the company into a sports and entertainment powerhouse. Endeavor previously bought a majority stake in the UFC, which was valued at $4.2bn in 2016. <\/p>\n<p>WWE had previously said it was exploring strategic options, including a possible sale, just after the return of Vince McMahon following an investigation into alleged misconduct. McMahon made a push to renegotiate contracts for WWE&#8217;s media rights, such as &#8220;SmackDown,&#8221; before a possible sale. <\/p>\n<p>Both companies are yet to comment on the possible acquisition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Milana Vinn, Anirban Sen and Dawn Chmielewski (Reuters) \u2013 Endeavor Group Holdings Inc, the parent of the popular UFC mixed martial arts franchise, is in talks to acquire World Wrestling Entertainment Inc (WWE) in an all-stock deal, according to people familiar with the matter.
