As previously reported, Vince McMahon’s recent appearance at WWE RAW was primarily to visit John Cena backstage. In addition to that, it was noted that he was not involved in any creative decisions at all.
However, Vince McMahon was present in the Gorilla Position throughout the night, which led to speculation among some fans that he might just take control of the company again. However, things aren’t as simple as they seem now.
While speaking during Sunday Night’s Main Event, Dave Meltzer discussed Vince McMahon’s appearance backstage on Monday Night RAW last week. Meltzer suggested that while McMahon may offer his opinion, it is Triple H who is currently in charge of creative direction for WWE.
“That’s what they want you to believe…Triple H was in charge. But I mean, he has influence on stuff now and Triple H has even said so. You know, they talk about it. Triple H is the one in charge but Vince offers his opinion. And that’s natural. I talked to somebody there, you know about that, like that night, and it was just like, that’s what they want you to believe.
But, you know, Levesque is the one in charge. He was the one giving all the orders and everything like that, but Vince was there and whatever that means long run, you know, we’ll see.”
“I’m just kind of told it’s more than that. When I said that’s what they want you to believe, that means that there’s more to it than that.”

Vince McMahon’s unexpected visit backstage during Monday Night RAW did not really faze WWE talent. Interestingly, McMahon was not scheduled to make an appearance on the show. As for his participation in WrestleMania 39, it remains uncertain, and no official confirmation of his involvement has been made yet.
