Donald Trump‘s purchase of the WWE was a publicity stunt!
A rather brazilliant one, in fact.
The scripted storyline which featured Vince McMahon “buying back” the WWE from Trump in a commercial-free episode of Monday Night Raw drew a whopping 6.8 million viewers – up 25% from the week before!
It was also the the highest rated episode of Raw in the past seven years!!
Wowza.
Although Trump no longer ‘owns’ the WWE, reps for the wrestling giants have alluded to the return of Trump in the near future!
“This may not be the end of the feud between these two world-class promoters,” one source from the WWE revealed.
The Donald as a reoccurring villain on Monday Night Raw???
He was born for it!
