Vince McMahon reappears in public after his car accident

For the first time since his dramatic car accident in Connecticut, Vince McMahon was spotted in public. The former WWE president appeared on August 23, 2025 in New York City, leaving a restaurant with Bruce Prichard, JBL, Gerald Brisco, and their respective partners.

On this occasion, McMahon was not driving, but was recorded getting into the back seat of a vehicle. The appearance marks his first public outing since the crash on the Merritt Parkway, in which he collided with another car and caused the driver, Barbara Doran, to be thrown off the road.

The accident occurred while a state trooper was trying to stop McMahon for erratic driving. The officer himself explained to the victim that if the impact had been head-on, the consequences could have been much more serious.

Meanwhile, TMZ recently showed McMahon in the special The Real Hulk Hogan, where he surprised everyone with a new look: white hair styled back. McMahon appeared with this new look in New York.

After leaving WWE, Vince McMahon began to work on a parallel business project focused on acquiring smaller companies to enhance them through investment and media synergies. The idea, according to close sources, was to form a conglomerate similar to a private equity, acquiring businesses with brand value or international projection that could benefit from McMahon's network of contacts.

The approach echoed his philosophy in WWE: taking a regional or limited-reach product and amplifying it on a global scale through marketing, audiovisual distribution, and centralized creative control. It did not materialize publicly with renowned acquisitions, but the project was in the exploration phase, with financial consultants analyzing sectors such as sports entertainment, health, and digital media.
