Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, featuring Vince McMahon, Carmella, and Kairi Sane.
• “Vince McMahon was awesome to work with” – Former Women’s Champion
Former SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella had a good experience working with Vince McMahon during her time in WWE. She told Zack Heydorn of Sports Illustrated that her personal interactions with McMahon were “nothing but positive.”
Carmella said, “I loved working with Vince, I really did.” She explained that even with “all of that, everything, the noise that has happened,” her own experience with him was positive. She felt he was always open to her suggestions, questions, or concerns and would always make time for the talent.
She also mentioned that McMahon was very involved in her famous Money In The Bank promo. According to Carmella, “He was so specific about what he wanted me to do in this promo. ‘Look here, do this, talk about this.’ He was awesome to work with.”
Carmella also revealed that she suggested working with James Ellsworth, and McMahon supported the idea after seeing how well they worked together on TV.
She added, “I had crazy ideas and Vince is known for crazy ideas. He goes for it. Sometimes I would go to him and be like, ‘No, that’s not going to work.’ At least I try and I think he respected that about me.”
Carmella’s contract with WWE was not renewed earlier this year, ending her 12-year run with the company. Vince McMahon resigned from TKO/WWE after a lawsuit was filed by Janel Grant in January 2024.
