The writing is on the wall. For years, it had been well established that when Vince McMahon steps down or passes on, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon will take over WWE. They’re already lower players in senior management. The general understanding is that Stephanie will take the reins on business dealings and marketing, while the King of Kings will take over on talent and creative.
Vince McMahon has experimented with delegating responsibilities to different parties, particularly as WWE has grown and developed a more bureaucratic corporate structure. Putting Triple H in charge of Talent Relations was, in itself, a big step, but Helmsley was stepping into a role others like Jim Ross and John Laurinaitis had filled ahead of him. Giving The Game the charge to start and lead a new developmental system added a layer, and indeed felt like a step toward grooming him to take over creative at large. Trusting The Game to make the most of 205 Live was another step in this direction.
WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker and Vince McMahon attended the Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou boxing match in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on October 28.
The focal point of the night was Vince McMahon’s walking with his cane. The 78-year-old was seen walking with the stick’s support alongside The Undertaker. Needless to say, Mr. McMahon has been noticed on a couple of occasions with a cane after his recent back surgery. He was also once reported to have visited WWE talents backstage with his cane.
A video of The Undertaker and McMahon at the event have been making the rounds on social media Saturday. In the video, McMahon can be seen using a cane, as he recently underwent successful back surgery a few months ago.
