Vince McMahon has returned to work on WWE Raw after being on medical leave following a life-altering spinal surgery.
The news of McMahon’s surgery came as a surprise to many within the company, as it was reported by TMZ and not disclosed internally. However, McMahon is now back in action ahead of the company’s takeover by Endeavor.
According to reports from Fightful Select and Wrestling Observer Radio, there were last-minute changes made to Monday Night Raw, with both McMahon and Paul Levesque, also known as Triple H, playing a significant role.
Dave Meltzer, speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, mentioned that McMahon made multiple changes to the show and that the alterations were likely for the better. Although the specific details of the changes remain unknown, it is believed that McMahon’s involvement in the production of the show was instrumental.
Vince McMahon is back. He made multiple changes to the show tonight. There were also multiple changes made by [Paul] Levesque at the last minute. So if the show was – a lot of stuff wasn’t advertised on the show, most of it, and the reason is they were changing all day long.
But Vince is back, Vince made significant changes to the show and I don’t know what the changes were, all I heard was they were probably changes for the better but there were many of them. But Vince is back from his surgery leave, he was not in the chair, he was not [at the show], but he was involved in the production of the show.
