Vince McMahon may not be associated with TKO and WWE in any capacity at the moment, but he is spotted with stars and administrative personnel ever so often.
McMahon has been steering clear of the public limelight except for rare occasions. The most recent was for TMZ’s documentary on Hulk Hogan after his passing. Vince McMahon talked about The Hulkster’s last WWE appearance among the many other memories they shared.
Recently, a fan video shared on social media captured McMahon with WWE Executive Director Bruce Prichard and John Bradshaw Layfield (JBL) in New York.

JBL Returned To WWE Commentary For AAA Triplemanía XXXIII
JBL did WWE commentary for a while for a few events. He joined Corey Graves at the commentator’s table for AAA Triplemanía XXXIII show in Mexico City’s Arena CDMX. His involvement contributed to the event’s star power, which was another feather in the cap for Lucha Libre AAA’s event in alignment with WWE after they announced the promotion’s acquisition in April this year.
JBL, a former WWE Champion, officially retired from wrestling in 2009. His wrestling resume features high-profile rivalries. A notable name from that list is John Cena. In fact, Cena won his first WWE Title reign, defeating Layfield at WrestleMania 21, which would go on to play a vital role in his rise to become the face of the company.
John Cena had a heated exchange with Logan Paul on WWE SmackDown this week. The two are a week away from an intense fight at Clash in Paris. The Maverick attacked an unsuspecting Cena at the end of a show to make a statement.
