According to RSN, Vince was seen smiling backstage throughout SmackDown:
“Vince made sure everyone saw him smile. If you didn’t know what was going on, you’d think he just won the lottery.”
McMahon reportedly wanted to show everyone how confident he is about the ongoing investigation, which is also one of the reasons why he said what he said in his promo.
