WWE President Nick Khan is reportedly the favourite to take over from Vince McMahon when the WWE Chairman does finally decide to retire.

Although McMahon is not likely to be stepping down any time soon, a new report indicates that Khan is the top name that it expected to be taking over the company when the time comes.

Previously, fans had anticipated that it would be Triple H and Stephanie McMahon taking ownership of the company once Vince retired, but that isn't currently what's expected to happen.

Dave Meltzer noted on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that Khan is the likely candidate to take over once McMahon decides to step down.

“I mean it’s kind of a Board of Directors thing, but probably (Nick Khan would replace Vince McMahon), yeah. Unless they went and hired somebody else from the outside, but probably Nick Khan, yes.”

As noted, we're likely a very long way off Vince McMahon deciding that he does not want to continue in his role as WWE Chairman.
