Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon appeared on this week’s SmackDown in his first appearance on TV since July.
That month, McMahon retired from his roles as CEO and Chairman due to the allegations of misconduct and multiple ‘hush-money’ NDA payments.
In a vignette highlighting John Cena’s return next week, several former Superstars praised the 16-time WWE World Champion.
At the end of the video, McMahon appeared and called Cena a real-life superhero.

McMahon reportedly regrets retiring from WWE and believes the allegations against him would have “blown over” had he stayed on as Chairman.
The former CEO is reportedly plotting a comeback to WWE, though would have to be approved by the company’s board of directors, led by WWE co-CEO and Chairwoman Stephanie McMahon.
