Vince McMahon’s return was expected and was accepted as a real possibility within WWE.
Dave Meltzer reported during the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that Vince had been trying to return to the company for sometime. The veteran journalist dismissed the impression that the 77-year-old blindsided top officials with his move back to power.
“All of the members of the board were all aware of everything that was happening. Obviously, they knew because they wrote the letter. He (Vince McMahon) wrote the first letter and then they wrote the letter on December 27th. But there was an awareness of this for sometime that he was trying to get back and, obviously, they were trying to block him from getting back.
“So, you know the idea that the top top people were blindsided by Vince’s move. Well, obviously they weren’t blindsided because they knew he was trying and because they knew what he could do to get in. As far as some people are worried, like the recent hires, people that Vince fired that are now back. The answer is that they absolutely knew, for sometime, that it was a possibility.”
