Mansoor Looks Back On Drastic Changes Vince McMahon Made To RAW After WrestleMania 39

Mansoor looks back on the drastic changes Vince McMahon made to the RAW after WrestleMania 39 earlier this year.

During the RAW after WrestleMania 39, it was very much a constant stream of changes that began an hour before the show was scheduled to go on the air. These changes came from Vince McMahon, who had decided to become heavily involved in the creative for the show after announcing the sale of the company to Endeavor that weekend.

Safe to say the show did not go down well with fans, as many were not happy with the changes made to the show at the eleventh hour.

Speaking on Twitch, Mansoor recalled sitting with Omos when he was informed of a change to what he was supposed to be doing on the show.

“Raw after Mania. Card is up, show is rehearsed. Hunter [Triple H] has been running the show for a while. Mania was a huge success. We weren’t on it because we were told we were being taken off TV right before. We’re sitting backstage and in catering with Omos. He’s got some disgusting slop on his plate. He gets a call, answers the phone, gets up and runs out. We’re looking at him, we’re with Tyson Kidd [TJ Wilson]. Ten minutes later we’re like, ‘did [Omos] just leave his pile of food here?’ It was a call saying, ‘Omos, you’re booked for Raw in an hour, you need to go get your gear.’ He didn’t bring his gear because he wasn’t supposed to work the show. He had to run back to his hotel and get his gear from when he worked Mania. Vince came through and just changed the whole show an hour before. Suddenly, the first match after WrestleMania was Omos squashing Elias, for no reason,”

Mansoor and Mace were released from WWE recently, with Elias also being part of the recent cuts to the WWE talent roster after the TKO Group Merger came into effect.
