Former WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon held a commanding presence at the helm of the company for several decades. Known for his close involvement with top-tier talent and their booking, it has been alleged that he was inaccessible to NXT talent during his time in the company.
Following a lawsuit filed by former employee Ms. Janel Grant, McMahon stepped away from his WWE roles. The lawsuit was put on hold for six months pending a federal investigation into the 78-year-old.
While speaking in an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Dr. Chris Featherstone, former WWE star Dijak talked about his time in WWE. Dijak claimed that McMahon was inaccessible to NXT talent unless they were directly requested by him, which he claimed happened once or twice.
“Vince was basically inaccessible to NXT talent unless they were directly requested by him. I only heard of that happening once or twice ever.”
As for Vince McMahon, there is an expectation within WWE that the feds will find dirt on Vince McMahon as part of their ongoing investigation. Regardless, McMahon ran WWE how he saw fit and that’s what mattered to him at the time.
