Vince McMahon kicked off WWE Friday Night SmackDown from Houston, Texas.
McMahon’s music played and he walked out to the stage but he did not say much. He looked out to the fans and then said “where the hell have you been?” before walking to the backstage area.
After McMahon’s appearance, Universal Champion Roman Reigns made his way to the ring for the opening match where he teamed with The Uso against Edge, Rey and Dominik Mysterio.
Tonight’s SmackDown marks WWE’s return to the road as they are back at full capacity for all live events.
"Where the hell have you been?!" 🤣👏
