25 Things You Didn't Know About Vince McMahon

9. He Suspended Titus O'Neil For Messing Around With Him On Television

Perhaps one you knew but forgot about (or simply missed thanks to how the footage nearly never made it to air), but this random act of frivolity cost Titus O'Neil sixty days work and a WrestleMania payday in 2016.

The roster including McMahon had just clapped off a retiring Daniel Bryan to tearfully end a pre-'Show Of Shows' edition of Monday Night Raw, but the Chairman was clearly in no mood for some light relief after a heavy duty sendoff. He furiously shoves Titus away as the 'Prime Time Player' appears to grab his arm.

It all fades away there, much like any future push for O'Neil.
