As noted, there are charges against Vince McMahon, who allegedly paid a former WWE employee $ 3 million to cover a relationship. There is an ongoing investigation by the Board of Directors into this and other misdemeanors. A Smackdown talent said they were expecting a day full of events, but noted that no one knew what Vince was going to say. However, he “did not sell” the fact that he was under investigation, and he was very happy. The person said that the show was much more relaxed than usual until its start, with another adding that Vince was “happy” and it was nice to watch, as many were expecting a tense atmosphere. It is said that Vince was very practical on Friday even more than usual. A longtime staff member said they believed this was McMahon’s way of proving that he continued to direct the show. “Basically he shows through his promo that he handles what is in front of him and does not run,” said another talent.
