PWInsider Elite are reporting that Vince McMahon was back in the saddle for Friday's episode of SmackDown.

The WWE boss had missed this past Monday's Raw - top McMahon lieutenant Bruce Prichard was put in charge for that, but it's believed Vince did still offer up some suggestions for the script before Raw went live.

The man's omnipresent influence on WWE's product never ceases to amaze.

Friday's SmackDown was dubbed a "Super" edition, and Vince wasn't going to miss it. Reportedly, he pulled the strings backstage at Gorilla, and personally directed huge segments like Brock Lesnar's return, the Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair contract signing, and the bumper Edge vs. Seth Rollins rematch.

PWInsider also wrote that Nick Khan was in attendance for SmackDown. WWE's President and Chief Revenue Officer fraternised with the live crowd alongside Stephanie McMahon, and had even greeted arriving fans at MSG's Delta Club.

It's unclear whether or not McMahon is back for good or if Prichard will be back in the hot seat for Monday's flagship. It does, however, seem like Vince's sabbatical was a brief one. The boss doesn't like to miss too much TV.
