In the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer provided an update into Vince McMahon’s current role in regard to running shows and being present at TV tapings, as well as WWE talent’s feelings internally pertaining to the situation. As previously reported, McMahon was present at this week’s Monday Night RAW TV tapings in Hartford, CT. Meltzer wrote,
“Much of the top brass including Vince McMahon was at the show. McMahon didn’t run the show itself, as Paul Levesque was doing that, but he did make changes in the show, mostly changing around the order of some of the matches and segments.”
“At first there was a lot of talent scared and not happy about McMahon’s involvement but the reality is everyone accepts that he’s now the ultimate decider and when the merger takes place, Ari Emanuel basically put it in place that it will remain as long as McMahon wants it to because he will be the person in charge of WWE and the final decision maker.”
This concurs with recent reports saying that one of the wrestlers, regarding McMahon essentially being back firmly in-charge, had stated “the band-aid has already been ripped off.”
