Mercedes Mone has recalled a rare instance where Vince McMahon admitted that he had made a mistake.
While The CEO has had issues with McMahon from her time in WWE and recently admitted in an interview that the way she was spoken to by the former Chairman was part of her decision to leave the company in 2022, there was one time when a production issue led to a joking confrontation.
Writing in her Mone Mag, the TBS Champion recalled a match against Nia Jax where the bell rang much earlier than expected thanks to orders from McMahon:
“This should probably be a Moné Memory, but while we’re on the subject of TV tapings, behind the scenes, and Vince McMahon, I remember one time I had a storyline and match with Nia Jax. During the match, Vince accidentally called over the headset for the referee to ring the bell. And it was way too early. We were confused, but we played along.
When I got backstage, I remember going to Triple H and being like, what the hell just happened? Triple H explained it was an accident and, playfully, told me to go and confront Vince. So I did. Vince admitted he was wrong and then shared a laugh about it.”
