Vince McMahon Ripped Up Tonight’s SmackDown Script On Thursday Evening

The boss wants to speak on SmackDown.

While Vince McMahon is currently being investigated by the WWE board regarding misconduct, Stephanie McMahon has taken over CEO and Chairperson duties as Vince steps back from the two roles. However, Vince will play an integral part to the WWE’s creative process despite this.

Now, Alex Sherman of CNBC has confirmed that Vince tore up the script for this week’s SmackDown, which was completed on Thursday evening:

New from CNBC: Vince McMahon will speak tonight on Smackdown IN CHARACTER as Mr. McMahon to address his temporary absence.

Could be a big ratings night for WWE. McMahon has torn up the script for Smackdown, which was written last night, I’m told. https://t.co/vMInFJ1LqQ
