It was reported that Vince McMahon was not backstage during Sunday’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view. McMahon has missed a number of WWE shows recently, including last week’s episode of SmackDown.
It was thought that McMahon didn’t attend these WWE events due to the passing of his brother, Roderick McMahon, who passed away on January 20.
As per Wrestling News.co, McMahon missed Royal Rumble to attend his brother’s funeral. It was noted that even though he wasn’t physically in the building, McMahon was still in close communication with the key individuals running the show.
Vince McMahon is reportedly expected to be in the building for SmackDown this Friday.
We send our deepest condolences to the McMahon family.
