Vince McMahon has been making changes to WWE shows remotely
Added 2023-05-30 00:24:12 +0000 UTCMany in WWE tell us they’re in a “wait and see” mode after Vince McMahon has made his presence known since WrestleMania, and has been making regular changes to WWE shows remotely, but hasn’t popped back up backstage.
As our Inside the Royal Rumble 3 feature indicated, January 2022 saw an all-time low in WWE morale, followed by it reaching a near-high after Vince McMahon was out of the company. However, when McMahon forced his way back into WWE and appeared all WrestleMania weekend making changes, there were several on the roster upset with what they saw.
The roster was assured repeatedly that Triple H was still in his role, but have been subject to late changes whenever Vince McMahon sees fit remotely. It was reiterated to us that when McMahon is there in person – which he hasn’t been since Mania week – that the changes were a lot heavier and had less reason to them. However, those that we spoke to on the roster said that instead, they hear that Vince McMahon calls in changes remotely, and does it with heavy alterations. Still, there have been talent that have told us they’ve had more flexibility in their promos of late than when Vince McMahon was present.
Morale was particularly high after the European tour, which many told us was the most fun they’ve ever been on. Those that we’ve heard from say that things have improved significantly since McMahon was around, but they’re still “on guard” at the possibility that he could just charge back in and be backstage. However, several also believe that McMahon realized the chaos that just being backstage caused and has opted to work remotely since.

If he is there at the gorilla you’d know because the quality of the product will take a hit.

2023-05-30 02:12:13 +0000 UTCWhen we get them, we post them. Every so often there's a show or two, a week or two, or a month or two without them

2023-05-30 01:46:43 +0000 UTCWe can just block you if you'd like. A guy who pretends to work at WWE and feeds Xero News info has no bearing on our news cycle. And this is not "doom and gloom."

2023-05-30 01:39:53 +0000 UTCBoozer stealing pre-RAW reports so Fightful has to go back to doom and gloom Vince stories 😭

2023-05-30 01:38:46 +0000 UTCYeah as long as he’s not physically there wreaking havoc it seems fine to me

2023-05-30 00:38:54 +0000 UTCThis. Vince could be sitting at Gorilla and if the show is good and the storylines make sense, who cares?

2023-05-30 00:38:45 +0000 UTCthe shows are still great to me and i can tell 80-85% of it is HHH so i’m not complaining🤷♂️
2023-05-30 00:37:33 +0000 UTCI very seriously doubt that Vince is self aware enough to recognize the negative effects his backstage presence causes! That’s some high grade copium!

2023-05-30 00:34:13 +0000 UTCThe shows do feel like a compromise between Hunter & Vince. While I’d rather Vince have no involvement at least he ain’t backstage completely rewriting every show on the week to week basis

2023-05-30 00:32:34 +0000 UTCNo RAW rundown because of these changes this week?

2023-05-30 00:31:30 +0000 UTCTime shall tell. I can see him staying away for awhile, but not forever. He'll miss that more active role, and resume it eventually

2023-05-30 00:28:14 +0000 UTCI mean it was really obvious recently. The show isn’t run like he runs it . But some of the people on the show make it obvious
