It appears that Vince McMahon being backstage at WWE Raw might be the most boring part of the story about his visit.
While it was noted that McMahon was backstage primarily to see John Cena, it’s what he actually looked like that captured the imagination of fans. During the show, it was reported by Sean Ross Sapp that the Executive Chairman was sporting a new mustache. But not just any mustache. Sapp added that he had been told that it was a “creepy little mustache,” while McMahon was also said to have dyed his hair.
On the show, Cena’s return was a little less surreal as he verbally sparred with Austin Theory before finally accepting a match with the United States Champion at WrestleMania 39.
Vince McMahon Spent “All Night” In The Gorilla Position
From the moment that Vince McMahon forced his way back onto WWE’s Board of Directors in early January both he and the company have been at pains to point out that he is only there to help facilitate a sale.
However, in recent weeks it has been reported that McMahon has been, and is, more involved than initially believed. It is known that he speaks with Triple H regarding creative and it was claimed that he “had input” in the storyline between Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn.
This was followed by reports that the 77-year-old “pushed through” the WrestleMania match between Brock Lesnar and Omos. While it has been noted that McMahon is not “officially” involved in WrestleMania, he is “doing more than they’re letting on.”
