STAMFORD – Former WWE founder and Chair and CEO Vince McMahon is reportedly trying to get back in the wrestling entertainment business as he has created an investment management company that will focus on sports, according to a state LLC company registration filing.
The Stamford-based company is called 14th & I, which refers to the WWE precursor Capitol Wrestling Corp. office that was located at 14th and I Streets in Washington, D.C. That company, which would later become WWF, was formed by his late father Vince McMahon Sr. in 1952.
A May 30 Wrestlenomics story reported that McMahon, 79, has launched a new private investment firm called 14TH & I, focusing on sports, media, and entertainment. This firm is separate from his previous involvement with WWE, which he recently sold to TKO Group Holdings, according to the story.
McMahon filed LLC registration with the state Secretary of the State’s office on Sept. 20, 2024 for multiple LLCs under the 14TH & I name. The business agent is listed as CT Corporation System of Manchester. The company itself is incorporated in Delaware.
Brad Blum, the former COO of WWE, is the president of the nascent company, according to his LinkedIn profile.
“14TH & I is a private investment firm focused on the sports, media, and entertainment sectors,” Blum’s profile states. The company is described as “a disciplined, flexible, long-term capital and strategic partner, primarily targeting buyouts/majority deals, as well as selective growth-oriented minority investments.”
There is also a parent company called 14TH & I Holdings LLC based at 16 Railroad Place, Suite 737 in Westport. The investment management address is listed as 262 Harbor Drive, Third Floor in Stamford. Based on a search for both addresses, one is the offices of Realco Business in Stamford and the other is Saugatuck Mail, a FedEx authorized shipping company.
14TH & I is targeting buyouts, majority deals, and selective minority investments in the sports, media, and entertainment sectors, according to Blum’s LinkedIn page.
McMahon, who has been separated from his wife Linda McMahon (current U.S. Education secretary), resigned from TKO Group in January 2024 after a lawsuit alleging sexual misconduct was filed against him by a former employee. In January 2025, Vince McMahon was fined more than $1.7 million by the Securities and Exchange Commission for undisclosed hush money payments.
