His son, Vince McMahon, Jr., took over the company in 1982 and renamed it World Wrestling Federation (WWF). In 2000, the company was renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) after a legal dispute with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc., d/b/a WWE, is an American publicly traded, privately controlled entertainment company that deals primarily in professional wrestling, with major revenue sources also coming from film, music, product licensing, and direct product sales. WWE also refers to the professional wrestling promotion itself, founded by Jess McMahon and Toots Mondt in 1952 as Capitol Wrestling Corporation Ltd.
The company’s headquarters are located in Stamford, Connecticut, with offices in major cities around the world. As in other professional wrestling promotions, WWE shows are not legitimate contests, but purely entertainment-based performance theater featuring storyline-driven and choreographed matches. This was first publicly acknowledged by WWE’s owner Vince McMahon in 1989 to avoid taxes from athletic commissions. Since the 1980s WWE publicly has branded their product as sports entertainment rather than mere entertainment; a brand which was officially endorsed by TV Guide magazine in 2006.
In 2014, McMahon announced that WWE would be expanding globally. As part of this process WWE acquired World Bodybuilding Federation (WBF), Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and WCW during late 2001 to early 2002.

In conclusion, each new WWE day begins at midnight EST on the Monday following a WWE pay-per-view event. This means that the first day of the week for WWE programming is always Tuesday.
