4. Vince McMahon To Return On Raw To Address SmackDown COO Scene
Mr. McMahon will return to WWE programming on this coming Monday’s episode of WWE Raw. Below is what WWE.com posted regarding the purpose of McMahon’s return:
“Mr. McMahon gave his children, Shane and Stephanie, shared custody over Monday Night Raw, but ironically, it’s SmackDown Live that has caused friction between the two siblings. With both McMahons declaring their intentions to run SmackDown come Tuesday, July 19 (and fending off would-be usurpers ranging from Corporate Kane to John Laurinaitis) and the Brand Extension fast approaching, The Chairman is slated to return to Raw in the very same building where Shane himself made his comeback earlier this year.
Could Mr. McMahon be on the verge of an executive decision? Or does he have a different COO in mind for SmackDown Live?”
