WWE and UFC are currently in the process of merging under UFC's parent company Endeavor, under the new name TKO Holdings Group. During Endeavor's recent earnings report, the company announced that the merger should be finalized near the end of September, and now a new development has outlined what the board of directors for the new company will look like.

According to a recent filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, TKO Holdings will have the following 10 board members, with one more to be selected by WWE at a later date:

  • Vince McMahon, Chairman of WWE
  • Ari Emanuel, CEO of Endeavor
  • Nick Khan, CEO of WWE
  • Mark Shapiro, President & COO of Endeavor
  • Steven R. Koonin, CEO of the Atlanta Hawks
  • Jonathan A. Kraft, President of The Kraft Group and son of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft
  • Egon Durban, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Silver Lake
  • Nancy Tellum, former President of XBOX Entertainment and former President of CBS Television
  • Carrie Wheeler, CEO of Opendoor Technologies
  • Sonya Medina, co-founder of Greenlight Growth Capital

McMahon is set to remain Chairman of WWE, with both WWE and UFC operating as they have been pre-merger, including maintaining their headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, and Las Vegas, Nevada, respectively. The filing also suggests that Endeavor sees no issue with announcing McMahon as a board member after he was recently served with a search warrant and a grand jury subpoena.
