Report: Vince McMahon Becoming "More Inaccessible" In WWE
All the details behind WWE's latest backstage scramble.
It was reported earlier this week that the most recent episode of WWE Raw was even more disorganised than usual behind the scenes, as WrestleVotes claimed performers weren't told what they'd be doing on the show until less than three hours before the first bell.
Dave Meltzer has a brief writeup on the situation in this week's Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He confirms that the wrestlers "had no idea what they were doing until late afternoon or early evening," adding that Vince McMahon was "more inaccessible than usual," as he didn't sit down to start putting the episode together with the writing team until 2pm that day.
There's also a note on Raw Underground, which was missing this week due to a personnel shortage following the recent COVID-19 outbreak. Meltzer notes that while he has been told the fight club isn't finished, everything is subject to change.
WWE's show-day reports always paint a frenzied picture, with Vince and his team seemingly scrambling to finalise Raw or SmackDown at the last minute, though this week sounds like a different level of chaos. it'll be interesting to learn if Vince's inaccessibility continues going forward.
