A source who worked closely with Vince McMahon reports that the idea of doing a sale storyline has come up a few times in the past. It was considered as part of the exploding limo angle. However, the source notes that Vince expressed concern at the time over how it might affect WWE stock. He was opposed to the idea because he feared it would cause confusion and become a nightmare for the company's public relations staff.

Powell's POV: Vince's past instincts appeared to be right last week. As previously noted, WWE stock dropped on Tuesday and one stock market analyst questioned whether the storyline misled shareholders into thinking the Raw brand had actually been sold to Donald Trump.
