Why did Vince McMahon leave WWE

Other accusations include McMahon’s alleged involvement in covering up misconduct within the company, such as turning a blind eye to pervasive wrongdoing and attempting to ruin the careers of those who spoke out. Despite legal actions and investigations, McMahon has faced criticism for his alleged misconduct, leading to resignations and legal battles.
The allegations have resurfaced periodically over the years, contributing to ongoing controversies surrounding his leadership and conduct within WWE.
