Former WWE Employee Claims Vince McMahon Is Banned From WWE HQ

A former WWE employee has claimed that Vince McMahon is prohibited from stepping foot in the new WWE headquarters building, which includes the gym he designed with his own personal trainer. 

During a recent edition of The Insiders podcast, Conrad Thompson spoke with Tom Carlucci, who worked for McMahon between 1987 and 2020. A loyal employee, Carlucci's wife continues to work for WWE, while his son does freelance work for NXT. 

Speaking about his old boss, Carlucci noted that he will not speak ill of the former WWE Chairman, saying:

"I will never ever badmouth [Vince]. Now, what's going on with Vince now, it's a totally different story. There's three sides to every story in my book. So, stuff is gonna come out and you'll see it. I don't know anything about it but it is what it is as we all know". 

He went on to talk about how McMahon was forced out of WWE in the wake of former WWE employee Janel Grant's lawsuit against him, John Laurinaitis and the company itself (recently paused at the request of the US Department of Justice). 

Per Carlucci:

"He can't even walk in the building... that's crazy that you drive by that building [and] you got that big championship belt. He always wanted us from day one... because we were in two different buildings. We had the corporate off exit 9 and then we were right down the street from the corporate office. Our big production studio. He always wanted us under one roof. That was his dream to have us under one roof. The dream came and he's not even a part of it anymore". 

"The gym was created for Vince. He designed the gym with his trainer Mike, who I know really well. He can't even go in that gym anymore. He can't step foot anywhere. Every meeting that goes on over there - you'll never see Vince here again, from the TKO people. It is crazy when you think about it that he's the legacy".

WWE star Randy Orton recently said it was 'nice' to have McMahon out of WWE.
