Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving SmackDown and Vince McMahon.
• Former NWA & TNA World Heavyweight Champion and current WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis has suffered an injury.
PWInsider has now confirmed that Aldis indeed tore his biceps and underwent surgery today.
The good news is that he currently isn’t expected to miss any of his scheduled WWE appearances.
He works as a Producer as well behind the scenes in WWE.
• After Vince McMahon resigned from his positions in TKO Group Holdings in January, former WWE Women’s Champion & UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey tweeted the following:
“Bruce Prichard is basically Vince’s avatar, if he’s still around Vince still has a hand in the business. Vince was still running things through Bruce when he was ‘gone’ before.”
Rousey went off on McMahon once again in her autobiography “Our Fight”. Here’s what she wrote:
“It’s hard to sometimes know where the evil, unethical, slimeball character of Vince McMahon played out for the cameras ends and the actual questionably ethical, many times sued, and multiple times accused of $exual misconduct Vince McMahon begins.
[WWE pay-per-view events are] held in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia, as well as now twice a year in Saudi Arabia, a nation that restricts the rights of women in a way that I’m certain Vince McMahon wishes he could.
WWE bills itself as a sports entertainment organization, and just like in the mainstream entertainment industry, there was by all accounts a casting couch culture where men backstage in powerful positions pressured female talent for $exual favors in return for airtime.”
