Backstage Reaction to Vince McMahon Reference on 3/25 WWE RAW

CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins shook up the atmosphere on the March 25th episode of WWE RAW with a promo segment that set the world on fire. However, CM Punk referenced Vince McMahon during the promo and now WWE’s backstage reaction to that fact has now been revealed.

During this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre had a verbal spar on the microphone. During their battle, CM Punk asked McIntyre who named McIntyre ‘The Chosen One,’ which was a Vince McMahon reference.

Obviously, no one could mention McMahon by name due to his ongoing lawsuit and the fact that WWE has erased him from existence. Naturally, many people were shocked by what CM Punk had to say as well.

According to PWInsider, it was reported that there was an initial hush backstage after CM Punk made the Vince McMahon reference but then everything went back to normal and there was no fallout for the reference whatsoever.

‘‘There was a hush backstage when CM Punk made allusions to Vince McMahon making Drew McIntyre “The Chosen One” but once they got past that moment, there was no fallout for the reference.”

As for Vince McMahon himself, the lawsuit is still ongoing and it is not known whether it will go to trial in the end. Nevertheless, WWE has washed their hands of Vince McMahon and that’s all that matters to them in the end.
