It was widely expected that since Vince McMahon was at the WWE Hall of Fame that he would also be backstage at WrestleMania.
PWInsider is reporting that McMahon was much more involved tonight than he has been since he exited his role as head of creative last year. PWInsider reports that McMahon had an office backstage that was next to the Gorilla position.
Furthermore, it was noted that McMahon was heard “on the headsets early” in the show and he was giving feedback and asking questions. McMahon was also said to be supervising the show and he was not just there hanging out like he was when he was at Raw in Boston a few weeks ago.
Nick Khan said earlier this week that McMahon is “not that involved” with the creative end of things. It remains to be seen if McMahon’s involvement backstage is just for the weekend or if he is planning on getting more involved with creative going forward with the weekly shows.
