Moreover, reports have been emerging of an imminent sale of the company. This has caused many fans to speculate as to who could potentially buy the company in the future. The most common names include Comcast, Tony Khan, and Saudi Arabia. However, now it seems like one more name has been added to the list of potential buyers.
