NOON UPDATE: WWE STOCK CONTINUES TO SLIDE DUE TO VINCE MCMAHON'S XFL ANNOUNCEMENT

By Dave Scherer on 2017-12-22 12:00:00

Updated at Noon: The WWE stock is currently trading at $29.34, down $2.53 (7.94%), on the announcement of Vince McMahon selling 3.34M shares of his stock to fund Alpha Entertainment.

Earlier Story:

The WWE stock is at $29.88 in premarket trading, down $1.99 before the markets even open in 20 minutes.

The drop in stock price is due to Vince McMahon's filing late yesterday that he has sold about $100 million worth of his stock to fund a new sports company, as well as filing for XFL trademarks.  It seems that investors think bringing back the XFL is a bad idea.
