It's been a whirlwind of activity in WWE over the past 48-72 hours. News that Vince McMahon wanted to return to the company turned into news that it had actually happened. All the while, Stephanie McMahon -- who was beloved by many in WWE -- departed the company and tendered her resignation as Co-CEO. Not long after, rumors of a WWE sale hit social media like a freight train, with speculation that the company was being sold to Saudi buyers (even though that has yet to be confirmed).
All in all, it's understandable that the WWE roster might feel a bit uneasy.
According to PWInsider.com's Mike Johnson, not everyone feels comfortable. He reports there is "far more of a worry and a feeling of unease" among WWE talent now that McMahon is back. Things were cooking under Triple H, with Nick Khan and Stephanie McMahon as chairwoman and Co-CEOs. Now, allegations against Vince, talk that he forced his way back into the company, his overall tendency to be harder to deal with than his successors, and quick rumors about massive changes, are all on people's minds. To the extent of what might be on some of the talent's minds, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful tweeted, "There have been multiple wrestlers who have told me they'd leave WWE if the company ends up being Saudi Arabia-led."

What Does All Of This Mean For Talent?
Sapp added that there is a lot of confusion amongst many in the WWE locker room and some aren't sure if Vince is really just back to help negotiate rights deals and/or sell the company, or is looking for a way back in to take over creatively. The last time he was running things, roster cuts were a huge concern and if the company is being sold again, some aren't sure if their jobs are secure.
