According to reports, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has been absent from the last two weeks of RAW and SmackDown Live! TV tapings. McMahon is not expected to be at TV next week and isn’t expected to return to the road with WWE until SummerSlam weekend.
With that being said, Vince is still very much involved with the production of both RAW and SmackDown. Vince was reportedly on the phone during the creative and production meetings at the TV tapings and “micro-managed every single detail of RAW and SmackDown.”
