In the last hours, TMZ Sports reported that Vince McMahon had to treat a problem with his spine. Sources close to the WWE authority stated that the medical process lasted more than four hours, and was described as "quite intense".

Despite this, McMahon successfully passed the surgery and is currently in a recovery stage. At the moment it is not known the estimated time that The Chairman will be on sick leave due to this process.

In any case, in general terms, a surgery of this type has a recovery time of at least 4 to 6 weeks, and may last up to 4-6 months. In principle, this should not be a problem for Vince McMahon because of the fact that he no longer has to travel continuously with WWE. However, it is still a complicated situation for a person who is 77 years old.

It is unknown if this will affect any of his current duties in WWE, although it does not seem to be the case. If we are talking about the company's weekly programming, Vince McMahon will be able to continue making creative changes remotely, something he has been doing constantly since April when the sale of WWE to Endeavor and its subsequent merger with UFC was announced, which has yet to be completed.

WWE and UFC join forces

The promoter and leader of the biggest wrestling companies, Vince McMahon, announced about a millionaire deal with which he will cede the rights of WWE to now merge with the UFC, thus, forming a single empire full of wealth.

Endeavor, the owner of the UFC mixed martial arts championship, announced Monday that it will buy the wrestling company with the goal of forming a sports and entertainment giant valued at $21 billion.
