Vince McMahon has stepped down as CEO of WWE while a probe continues into some alleged misconduct surrounding the owner and at least one woman. It was also reported that he will not only appear on the company’s Friday night show, SmackDown, but he will open it. What will happen? Pat McAfee, color commentator on the show, has no idea.
“This morning Stephanie McMahon is now interim CEO and interim Chairwoman and tonight on SmackDown Vince McMahon, Mr. McMahon will be appearing,” McAfee started.
“I have no idea what’s happening when I fly into Minneapolis, Minnesota this afternoon.”
“And just like everybody else, McAfee continued, “I have no idea what’s happening tonight.”
McAfee has been a member of WWE’s broadcast team on SmackDown since April of 2021. He did try and find out some scoop.
“I’ve sent out a couple of texts, with the tweet from WWE saying that Mr. McMahon will appear on it, and I’m like ‘how’s this going in?” The response I got was “nobody knew this was happening on the show.”
