The WWE logo is seen on the front of the WWE wrestling world headquarters on January 28, 2024 in Stamford, Connecticut. WWE founder Vince McMahon resigned from the WWE and its parent company TKO as executive chairman and its board of directors following allegations of sexual assault made public in a lawsuit in Connecticut. A former employee Janel Grant accused McMahon, 78, of sexual assault and sexually trafficking her. More"Well, yeah, I'm working as an agent with the company, with this project so, all this is gonna be the big move with the company and them. AAA's gonna become full with WWE. So, let's see what happens. We go step by step," Vega said. "I'm happy with being back and working with this talent, which they're in better shape than me right now."
While he is focused on his backstage duties, he remains open to an in-ring appearance.
"I'm working for WWE, you know, on this project... I'm gonna be as a producer. Hope something happen (in-ring-wise). Anything could happen. You there, you're still alive so you're good for something. So, I believe if it's there, I'm welcome. Why not?"
