Following the brutal headbutt from Kevin Owens to Vince McMahon at the end of this week’s episode of Smackdown Live, WWE provided a brief update on their website.
The simple statement read: “WWE.com has learned that, following the attack, Mr. McMahon did not give comment and refused to be looked at by medical staff.”
I guess we’ll have to wait until next week to get more details on Mr. McMahon’s condition. They asked fans to stay tuned to WWE.com as the situation develops. Presumably, this means that we’ll see Mr. McMahon back on Smackdown Live in the near future. McMahon, 72, was advised by doctors not to take bumps at his age but he got around that by not taking any crazy bumps but that headbutt looked pretty stiff though.
McMahon’s return to WWE TV was to set up Shane McMahon vs. Kevin Owens inside Hell in a Cell on 10/8 in Detroit, MI. That would be Shane’s first match since battling AJ Styles at WrestleMania 33 in Orlando. As of now, the only other match announced for the show is Jinder Mahal defending the WWE Championship against Shinsuke Nakamura.
