This is a story from one of Chris Jericho's books.

In 'Best In The World (At What I Have No Idea)', Jericho told how an in-flight jibe from Vince McMahon ended with Kofi challenging the boss to a fight in mid-air. It all started when Vince embarrassed Kofi by remarking that maybe he'd "get over someday". A short while later, Y2J advised that Kofi stand up for himself ASAP.

So, after the plane had landed, Kingston raced back onboard and asked if McMahon had a problem with him. The situation got heated enough that the pair reportedly began rolling around on the floor in a brief skirmish that ended without any serious punches. According to Jericho, Vince respected the fact Kofi had stood up to him.

The boss laughed it off afterwards, but this isn't something WWE would enjoy people talking about these days. It's hardly conduct befitting of the workplace when employees are brawling with the boss.
