According to Sportico, the Detroit Police and Fire Retirement System have fired a lawsuit against Vince McMahon, attempting to prevent McMahon from taking over the Board Of Directors. The lawsuit claims that McMahon breached his fiduciary duties by trying to “impose his personal will on WWE and it’s ‘board’”.

There is no word on when the case could go to court.

It doesn’t seem like many people want him there but here we are again, as McMahon continues to get his way.
