Some of WWE’s top stars were spotted in attendance at UFC 276, including Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, and Triple H.
This year, WWE Money in the Bank was originally scheduled to take place in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. However, weeks before the show, an email was sent to ticketholders informing them that the event had been moved to the smaller MGM Grand.
Interestingly, the move meant that the Premium Live Event would be taking place just minutes away from UFC 276 which was held at the nearby T-Mobile Arena.
This proved useful for some of WWE’s top stars as the UFC camera’s shone a spotlight on Vince and Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, and Pat McAfee enjoying the show soon after Money in the Bank ended.

According to Wrestling Headlines, WWE President & CRO Nick Khan was also present at the event, although he was not caught on camera.
Vince McMahon has currently stepped back from his position as WWE CEO and Chairman while the company’s Board investigates him over allegations he paid $3 million to a former employee that he is said to have had an affair with. While the investigation takes place, Stephanie has taken on the roles on an interim basis. Meanwhile, Triple H recently returned to the WWE Performance Centre, informing all there that he was “back”.
On the UFC broadcast, Pat McAfee was sporting a neckbrace stemming from the brutal assault Happy Corbin inflicted on him after Money in the Bank went off the air. Corbin appeared through the crowd and attacked McAfee, laying him out with an End of Days on the floor before accepting the challenge McAfee had issued for SummerSlam.
