Report: WWE Talents Happy About Vince McMahon's Return To Creative
Some wrestlers are happy to see Vince McMahon back
May 13, 2023
WrestleMania season saw rumblings of Vince McMahon getting more and more involved in WWE once again, with the episode of Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania seeing him back in the Gorilla position, changing the script of the show on a whim.
However, this isn’t spelling doom and gloom for absolutely everyone in WWE, as there are reportedly some talents who are more than welcome to a return from the boss. Wade Keller of PWTorch was reportedly told by two talents that they were happy about McMahon’s return to WWE creative, and were apparently more in favour of him than Triple H. Keller noted:
"The wrestlers who are more sympathetic or okay with or even somewhat happy with Vince returning -- the wrestlers I talked to directly like Vince better but they also indicated [that] they are not alone [and] that there are people who are happy Vince is back. It's natural that some wrestlers would think that they were getting a better push under Vince McMahon than Paul Levesque because every booker is gonna have their favourites that they like a little more than others and those people get a boost and others will be like, hey, I think I was in a better position under Vince. Some of it is just that. It's purely based on self-interest that they were getting a better push… One person I asked said they think that Vince McMahon is more focused on building strong babyfaces and Paul Levesque has more of a focus, and an interest, in building heels..."
Following the WWE sale to Endeavor, Vince McMahon noted that he wouldn’t be “in the weeds” of WWE creative, but he would have input when it comes to the larger scale decisions.
