NETFLIX have reportedly pulled the plug on their upcoming Vince McMahon documentary amid claims that the WWE chief paid $12million in sexual misconduct hush money to four women.

The streaming service were already “deep in post-production” and are said to have spent “millions” on the highly-anticipated project.

However, Denise Salcedo claims that the documentary on the billionaire’s life has now been axed following the shock allegations that have emerged over the past month.

The WWE chief, 76, last month stepped down from the organisation after an investigation was opened into whether he paid off a female employee to keep their affair a secret.

McMahon then delivered a defiant message in his character as WWE boss live on Smackdown amid the investigation.

Daughter Stephanie McMahon replaced him pending the outcome of the probe.

"It's especially a privilege to stand here in this ring in Minnesota.

"I'm here simply to remind you of the four words we just saw, the WWE signature – then, now, forever, together."

Since the initial allegations, McMahon has been giving public appearances and was spotted cage-side at UFC 276 in Las Vegas last weekend.
