Vince McMahon Reportedly Left WWE TV Taping Early While Others Were Forced To Stay (Must be Nice)

Over the last week, WWE has taped two episodes of Monday Night Raw and two episodes of Friday Night SmackDown at the Performance Center.

The tapings have reportedly been chaotic, with one report stating that things were “not running smoothly” backstage at these tapings. The report went on to allege that the Raw script was only finalised by Vince McMahon at 1pm EST, which left the company under pressure to wrap up the taping in time.

 Vince McMahon didn’t stick around for the end of the second Raw taping, leaving the Performance Center before it had finished, one source says he wished he could have left early like Vince did. Everyone else was expected to stay for the duration of the taping:

“It is unknown where he went, or what he had to do. They carried on without him and finished the tapings as planned.

“One source in the company stated to Ringside News, “I wish I could have left early,” The Superstars and staff had to stay for the duration of the tapings, but Vince McMahon got to leave.”

Bully Ray Done With Ring Of Honor

The WWE Hall of Famer is done with the promotion as his contract expired on 4/1.  His exit had been agreed upon and planned by both sides with the original plan being Ray staying until the now-canceled Supercard of Honor event over Wrestlemania 36 weekend in Florida to finish out a storyline with Maria Manic. 

The end of Rays run had been a mutually agreed upon decision prior to the COVID-19 pandemic taking hold and the series of events that world has been plunged into since March had no bearing on the situation.  There was no heat between Ray and the company, just a realization that he had done all he could do there currently.

So, Ray is 100% a free agent and could work or sign elsewhere if the right deal comes along.
