Vince McMahon, the founder of WWE, made his return to Live TV last night. The character hasn't been on television for the past couple of weeks, and last appeared on SmackDown to have a confrontation with The New Day heading into WrestleMania 35.

Last night on SmackDown, Mr. McMahon introduced Elias as his biggest draft pick, but the live crowd in Montreal were having none of it.

Elias tried to calm the crowd with a live performance but was unceremoniously interrupted by Roman Reigns. Reigns made his presence felt as he knocked the boss out with a superman punch.

This only indicates that the chairman of the company will be a regular corporate figure heading forward, and it's amazing that at the age of 73, Mr. McMahon is still willing to take bumps to put his employees over.

In the last several years, Vince has been grooming his successors, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. Though doubtful this will be his last hoorah, moments like these won't be around for much longer. Mr. McMahon was a vital character for the resurgence of WWE, and a character we'll all miss the moment he's gone.
