In a surprising turn of events, WWE’s Vince McMahon has made his first appearance backstage at a WWE event since announcing his retirement last summer. The majority owner and executive chairman of WWE were spotted at Raw in Boston, where John Cena made his much-anticipated return. With over 13,000 tickets distributed to the event, the atmosphere was electric, and McMahon’s presence only added to the excitement.
Although McMahon and Cena were seen together celebrating McMahon’s 77th birthday at a New York City restaurant last August, McMahon’s return to WWE has sparked rumors about his involvement in the creative aspects of the company. McMahon had previously returned to the company in January, but his role was only supposed to involve spearheading efforts regarding a potential sale.
The speculation surrounding McMahon’s involvement in WWE creative gained momentum after booking the WrestleMania match between Brock Lesnar and Omos. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer weighed in on the situation, stating that the booking decision had raised eyebrows and could indicate McMahon’s hand in creative choices.
As the buzz surrounding McMahon’s return grows, WWE fans eagerly await any further developments that could shape the company’s future.
Vince is at Raw tonight in Boston.
