Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving Vince McMahon.
• During an interview with Richard Deitsch on the Sports Media Podcast, Becky Lynch had the following to say about the allegations against Vince McMahon:
“They’re horrendous allegations, they’re horrendous, and it’s so hard to listen and reconcile with because you don’t know that person.
The person that I’ve experienced was like a grandad. At times a very grumpy granddad, and one that you’re frustrated with. But one that was so supportive of me and my family and of my career, encouraging and understanding as well at times, and is also very responsible for one for the dream that I have, the fact that there is a WWE and then allowing me to live my dream, for meeting my husband, for my whole family, everything that I have.
And then you hear these allegations and it’s hard to connect the two. In many ways they just feel like two different people.
So trying to see them as one person, I don’t know, it’s very hard. It’s very difficult to reconcile.”
Becky will face Rhea Ripley for the Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 40.

• During an interview with Cageside Seats, UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey had the following to say about working for Vince McMahon:
“I just didn’t wanna be Vince’s action f**king figure anymore. I felt like I was doing custom matches for a f**king sicko in the back. All power to the girls that keep fighting the good fight. But I’m in my mid-30’s now. I’ve got sh*t to do.”
After Vince resigned from all his positions from TKO in January 2024 (after already announcing his retirement in 2022), Ronda posted a tweet claiming that Vince wasn’t really gone the first time and was calling running the show through Bruce Prichard.
Rousey said the following about Vince resignation:
“My agent who works at WME (Endeavor), he was telling me, ‘You know, he’s completely gone now, I swear’. And I’m like, I’ll believe it when I see it, because everyone said he left before. He never left. He was there by text message.”
