Although Vince McMahon is currently only back in WWE as the Executive Chairman of the WWE Board of Directors, he is listed in a WrestleMania Goes Hollywood advertisement.
In January, McMahon forced his way back into the company and positioned it as him helping WWE be sold this year and helping with the talks for a new media rights deal.
His daughter, Stephanie McMahon, stepped down as WWE co-CEO shortly after he returned. Vince has yet to take over creative control of the company as Triple H is in that role for now, although many fans have speculated that it’s just a matter of time before he’s back in power.
WWE aired an advertisement for Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Title at WrestleMania Goes Hollywood during Raw. Fans noticed that at the bottom of Reigns’ poster read the words “Directed by Vince McMahon.”
Some have speculated that this means McMahon’s input in creative is more than what is being let on, which has been that he has no say in creative.
