According to a report from Fightful, Vince McMahon’s brief segment on WWE SmackDown was not featured in the internal scripts for the show as of 5:30 PM EST. Additionally, it was not listed in a rundown of the show as of 7:50 PM EST, just 10 minutes before SmackDown went live.

One source said they are under the impression that Vince McMahon’s segment did not go as originally planned and he opted to go in a different direction.

As we reported yesterday here on eWn, McMahon was said to have been in a very good mood backstage at the TV tapings and showed no signs of being worried or concerned. It was basically “business as usual” and only a select few people knew what McMahon was going to say during the opening segment. Some of the reactions from talent and staff ranged from “confused”, “disappointed”, and “enraged.”

As you know by now, Vince McMahon is currently under investigation by the WWE Board of Directors for making a $3 million hush payment to a former employee that he had an alleged affair with. In addition to the payment being made in January 2022, the employee signed an NDA which means she can’t ever speak on the matter. The $3 million payment reportedly came out of Vince McMahon’s own pocket.

Additionally, several other older non-disclosure agreements against Vince McMahon and WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis have surfaced during the course of the investigation.
