1) Vince McMahon’s Current Backstage Status In WWE
According to a report from Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select (subscribe here), Vince McMahon’s attendance at WWE shows “isn’t exactly what it once was”. He is still hands-on with the creative in WWE but he has been doing a lot more from a distance.
Sapp noted that Vince has rarely been at a Smackdown taping since Thanksgiving:
“We were told that Vince McMahon was rarely, if ever at the show between Thanksgiving and the February 5th episode.”
Sapp also noted that Vince has missed more than half of the RAW episodes as of late and has become more private:
Over on Raw, it was noted that Vince McMahon was around “approximately half the time.” Outside of that, McMahon is said to have been exceptionally private of late. This is still a far cry from decades past when McMahon would almost never miss an episode of WWE Raw if he could help it.
My Take:
- I am assuming this is because Vince has been very focused on the XFL relaunch. It would make sense for him to take a backseat in WWE until the season is over. Still, I never see him relinquishing control of WWE until he passes away.
