This change led to the rebranding of the promotion as World Wrestling Entertainment. However, Vince McMahon initially wanted a different name for WWE.

During an interview with Wrestling Epicenter, former WWE Creative Director of On-Air Promotions David Sahadi talked about the name change from WWE to WWF. He said as the conversations were going on over the new name, Vince wanted the promotion to be called just WE—World Entertainment.

“At one point when we were making the logo change—it’s not in the book—Vince wanted it just called WE, like World Entertainment, and I’m just like, ‘it doesn’t kind of work, WE.’ That conversation lasted for about a month before we settled on WWE. I kid you not. I’m like, that made no sense,'” Sahadi said.

Sahadi said the World Wildlife Fund had been suing them for over a decade about the name change but kept losing. He said they finally won during a time when WWE’s product was edgy and they were getting “very salacious.”

Logan Paul believes Vince McMahon will return to WWE

Vince McMahon stepped down from WWE in 2024 for a second time amid the Janel Grant lawsuit.

Since then, WWE has maintained its distance from the former CEO, and he has been sparingly mentioned. There have been rumors and speculation of him returning to the company, however, nothing concrete has come to light.

Still, The Vision member Logan Paul believes Vince McMahon will return to WWE and will also be inducted into the Hall of Fame. He said he has a weird feeling about it and claimed the former owner will get a massive pop when he shows up.
