The WWE boss has been inserted at 66/1 in a 'Next Majority Owner' market following current owner - Mike Ashley - announcing his intention to sell the club last night.
McMahon appears alongside selections like New England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft (11/1), Donald Trump (60/1) and Paddy Power himself (14/1).
There is a reason why Vince McMahon's name has been added to the market.
A number of years ago, a rumour circulated with the story that Vince was looking to purchase the club. However, it was a case of Chinese whispers (literally) because the actual person looking for the sale was Vince's son, Shane McMahon, along with a consortium of Chinese investors.
The potential deal had nothing to do with Vince McMahon or WWE.
