Is Vince McMahon back running creative in WWE?

Rumour has it that the titan of wrestling entertainment, Vince McMahon, has made more of comeback to WWE than initially expected​. His return was significant away, not just for the mere fact of his re-emergence, but for what it implies about the current creative direction of the WWE.

According to an unverified report by @BlackMaskofPW (via FightFans), McMahon isn't solely pulling the strings behind the scenes, as many outlets suggest. Instead, the account paints a picture of a more collaborative environment​.

The Collaborative Nature of WWE Creative

"Ya'll really got to let this narrative go," the account urged. The anonymous source further elaborated that the creative process involves multiple key players and isn't solely McMahon's vision. Paul Levesque, better known by his ring name Triple H, assembles the shows, while the creative team refines them, and only then does Vince add his tweaks​.

The account also hinted that McMahon, despite his stature, has shown flexibility in his creative decisions. It claimed, "there are people getting pushes & tv time that Vince does not like but he allows for his son-in-law’s sake."​

Vince McMahon: The Buzz Around the Rumor

LAS VEGAS, NV - JANUARY 08: WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon speaks at a news conference announcing the WWE Network at the 2014 International CES at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas on January 8, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The network will launch on February 24, 2014 as the first-ever 24/7 streaming network, offering both scheduled programs and video on demand. The USD 9.99 per month subscription will include access to all 12 live WWE pay-per-view events each year. CES, the world's largest annual consumer technology trade show, runs through January 10 and is expected to feature 3,200 exhibitors showing off their latest products and services to about 150,000 attendees.

These speculations have created a stir in the WWE universe, with fans and critics alike waiting for more information to verify or debunk the rumous. Previously, reputable sources like PWInsider and Fightful reported McMahon making significant changes to the RAW show, adding fuel to the speculation of his deeper involvement​.

However, the narrative of McMahon's dominant creative influence is facing some resistance online. Some argue against the idea, suggesting a less monolithic and more cooperative creative process at WWE, as depicted by the aforementioned anonymous account​.

In Conclusion: The Plot Thickens

The swirling rumors around Vince McMahon and his current creative involvement in WWE have left fans, critics, and followers of the wrestling world in a state of suspense. The truth is yet to emerge, but one thing is clear: the story of WWE's creative process is far from simple and involves a complex interplay of personalities and power dynamics. As the rumors persist, the wait for confirmation continues.

Whether the rumour of McMahon's creative involvement stands true or not, it has certainly stirred intrigue. It's a reminder of the wrestling industry's inherent drama, where the storylines extend beyond the ring, captivating audiences worldwide.
