Vince McMhaon showed up at RAW in Hartford this week. He didn’t change a ton this week, but he was there to offer his opinion and make sure the show ran according to the way he would do things. Now, we have a lot more information.

Sean Sapp went on to note several interesting things about Vince McMahon showing up to WWE RAW this week. That being said, the mood was far less hectic this week compared to when Vince McMahon was around for the RAW after WrestleMania.
Throughout the afternoon, there were rumblings among talent that Vince McMahon would be at the show. As of about 6:00 PM ET, many of the talent and staff hadn’t seen McMahon, but did see a room being prepared for someone to work out of. That ended up being an office for McMahon.
PWInsider reported shortly after 6:30 ET that Vince McMahon was backstage at Raw. Most of the staff and talent in attendance were not surprised by this, as Hartford is a fairly short trip from where Vince McMahon lives, and most do not expect him to regularly be backstage, as he’s been fine making changes remotely in recent weeks.
For the June 5 show, however, Vince was in Gorilla Position himself, where he was WrestleMania weekend. Of late, McMahon has been calling in changes, sometimes very close to the show. This has caused late rundowns to be passed out and some segments and matches to be nixed.
We haven’t heard of anything out of the ordinary, and were told the mood was much less hectic at the Hartford Raw than the Raw After Mania.
It was also noted that, “aside from that, internal reports indicated that the Raw in Hartford was the highest grossing Raw/Smackdown in the history of the market for WWE.”
Vince McMahon has the power to show up at WWE RAW if he wants to. Obviously, he will continue doing as he pleases. After all, it is still his company.
What’s your take on Vince McMahon showing up at WWE RAW this week?
