Vince McMahon Getting Busted Open By Kevin Owens

The biggest story coming out of Smackdown Live this week was Kevin Owens attacking Vince McMahon. Owens gave Vince a headbutt, which caused him to bust wide open. This is something that shocked the wrestling world and has been heavily praised by a lot of fans on social media.

Here is the latest buzz going around about Vince getting busted open.

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscribe here), we have a potential explanation for what happened.

The exact mechanics of what happened are unknown but after talking to several people in the wrestling business, it seems likely that Vince bladed prior to the segment. He then covered it up with nu-skin before going out to the ring for the segment (which closed the wound).

When Owens hit Vince with the headbutt, it led to the re-opening of the wound and a lot of blood. It also should be noted that Vince still would have had to take a solid shot for the wound to re-open again.

Meltzer says that there is a small chance that it was a pure hardway shot but it seems more likely from who he has spoken to with experience in the wrestling business that it wasn’t. There is no guarantee that you will be cut open from a headbutt and from the way the cameras shot the angle, it clearly looked like the plan all along.

Regardless, we can all probably agree that Vince McMahon is crazy for taking a headbutt at the age of 72. Here are 10 more stories of Vince McMahon’s antics.
