In a stunning development within the wrestling world, Vince McMahon’s association with WWE continues to wane amidst ongoing legal battles. McMahon, once the undisputed face of WWE, now finds himself distanced from the very company he built, following serious allegations made against him by Janel Grant, who has accused him of sex trafficking. This legal storm has significantly altered McMahon’s role and presence in WWE, creating a ripple effect throughout the organization.

#### Tom Carlucci’s Insights

On a recent episode of *The Insiders* podcast, available via Ad Free Shows, former WWE employee Tom Carlucci shared some eye-opening insights into McMahon’s current situation. During his conversation with host Conrad Thompson, Carlucci expressed his support for McMahon while acknowledging the complexities of the ongoing case. 

“I will never ever badmouth [Vince]. Now, what’s going on with Vince now, it’s a totally different story. There’s three sides to every story in my book. So, stuff is gonna come out and you’ll see it. I don’t know anything about it but it is what it is as we all know,” said Carlucci.

#### The Impact on WWE Headquarters

One of the most shocking revelations from Carlucci’s interview is that McMahon is allegedly no longer allowed to enter WWE Headquarters. According to Carlucci, this restriction is enforced by the new leadership under the TKO Group. 

“He can’t even walk in the building…that’s crazy that you drive by that building [and] you got that big championship belt. He always wanted us from day one…because we were in two different buildings. We had the corporate off exit 9 and then we were right down the street from the corporate office. Our big production studio. He always wanted us under one roof. That was his dream to have us under one roof. The dream came and he’s not even a part of it anymore,” Carlucci remarked.

#### The Gym and Other Facilities

McMahon’s influence on the company’s facilities is also notable. Carlucci mentioned that the gym at WWE Headquarters was designed specifically for McMahon, with input from his trainer, Mike. Despite this personal connection, McMahon can no longer access this space.

“The gym was created for Vince. He designed the gym with his trainer Mike, who I know really well. He can’t even go in that gym anymore. He can’t step foot anywhere. Every meeting that goes on over there — you’ll never see Vince here again, from the TKO people. It is crazy when you think about it that he’s the legacy,” Carlucci added.

#### WWE Headquarters: A Modern Museum

Despite these changes, Carlucci’s wife, who still works for WWE, likens the headquarters to a museum. It boasts facilities like the SmackDown Café and an in-house Starbucks, symbolizing the modern, corporate face of WWE that McMahon had envisioned.
