MLW Radio reports that Vince McMahon was not backstage at Sunday’s WWE Payback event.
While the exact reason for his absence is unknown, it’s being speculated that he could have missed the event because he doesn’t like traveling to the West coast, so he skipped the 3-day loop of shows.
It’s well documentation that Vince is a machine and you can ask anyone that has ever had the privilege of working with him. He’s now 71-years old and at this point in life he could be looking to lighter his work load, so it wouldn’t be surprising that there is truth to the speculation of not wanting to travel to the West Coast.
