Vince McMahon Recently Underwent "Life-Altering" Spinal Surgery
WWE's Executive Chairman's recent surgery was described as "major."
WWE Executive Chairman Vince McMahon underwent surgery on a spinal issue recently.
McMahon, who originally retired in disgrace last year amid sexual misconduct allegations before returning to the company in January, was said to have been under the knife for five hours, according to Fightful Select.
The surgery was described as a "major" and "life-changing" one, with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp also noting on Twitter/X that Vince is now "recovering" after the "pretty intensive" procedure.
Vince McMahon had major spinal surgery last week. We're told he's now recovering. The surgery lasted about five hours and was a pretty intensive one.

There haven't been any other updates on how this will impact his role in WWE. Though it is worth noting how McMahon was still bizarrely influencing Raw during the July 17 edition of the red show, the same week he ultimately underwent this significant spinal surgery.
Also, both McMahon and WWE Chief Content Officer Triple H were said to have been absent from the latest edition of Raw, leaving Bruce Prichard in charge of the Monday night sports entertainment product.
Vince wasn't around for the SmackDown before that either.
It also wasn't revealed why 'The Game' wasn't present in Gorilla for that latest Raw show, but he is expected to be back imminently.
