Many were expecting Vince McMahon to address the allegations against him during his appearance on tonight’s SmackDown episode.
Though the boss did not say anything about the rumors surrounding him during his TV appearance. He also apparently no-sold the accusations behind the scenes as well.
Per reports from PWInsider, there was nothing unusual with the proceedings at SmackDown. You wouldn’t have figured out that Mr McMahon was under investigation by just being backstage at the tapings.
As for the boss, the site notes that he was not selling anything. Vince McMahon was described as being in ‘great mood’ and he was ‘joking around’ during the production meeting before the show.
There were whispers among people that the WWE owner will be addressing the talents before the episode but nothing was said.
Several sources described the pre-show meeting as ‘weird’ given the circumstances, especially because nobody knows when more details on the allegations can surface.
Some people were wondering how many more NDAs were uncovered during the investigation and how many others could be out there.
