In another threatrical, dramatic moment, Vince McMahon returned to Monday Night Raw for the first time in 2015 on the Dec 14 episode. Interrupting a throwaway bout between R-Truth and Bo Dallas, McMahon was there predominantly to confront Roman Reigns over what had happened the previous night at the end of the TLC pay-per-view. What followed was memorable. Once again, Reigns was booked to almost ruin the moment by delivering hammy dialogue which didn't fit in with the serious nature of the segment. The man is much more effective when he's a silent, brooding type, rather than a witty, fast-talking babyface. The entire confrontation was carried by McMahon, who can still provide entertainment when he talks as the 'Mr. McMahon' heel character. Instantly after he had made comments questioning the size of McMahon's manhood, Reigns was kicked in his. The crowd reacted fittingly, mainly because they legitimately seemed delighted to see Vince McMahon on television. The boss doesn't make a lot of appearances these days on screen, so it felt meaningful to have him kick Reigns in the balls as revenge for his son-in-law, Triple H.
