5 Recent instances where Vince McMahon got upset for superstars going off-script

Vince McMahon is the reason WWE exists to this day. He is really passionate about his business and is never afraid of letting other people know about his feelings. It doesn't matter how big of a WWE Superstar you are - if the boss gets upset, he will punish you.

He has often shown his temper backstage after specific incidents which involve certain words and gestures that do not fall in line with WWE's PG rating. The company likes to keep its product appropriate for everyone and also wants to keep their sponsors happy with their product.

So, here are four recent incidents that made the boss upset...

#5 The Revival using the term "Professional Wrestlers"

We all know WWE is not a "Professional Wrestling" company; instead, they call themselves as "Sports Entertainment" company. The Revival referred to themselves as "Professional Wrestlers" during a Monday Night Raw promo in January 2018 after defeating some local competitors.

Vince McMahon wasn't at all pleased by this move. As a result, The Revival were punished for making this mistake, and went on to lose too many matches and were pushed down the card. Just recently, there were rumors that they have asked for their release.

#4 AJ Styles rips his gear at TLC 2016

AJ Styles is one of the top stars in WWE today. After debuting in 2016, The Phenomenal One became WWE Champion the same year and defended the title against Dean Ambrose at TLC 2016. During the match, AJ Styles tore his tights while delivering a 450 splash on Ambrose.

James Ellsworth, who was backstage during the match, revealed that Vince McMahon wasn't happy about the incident. The boss was demanded all cameramen to stop showing the torn gear on television, as it would be inappropriate for the younger members of the audience.

#3 Goldberg's cut forehead

Golberg cuts himself while knocking the door during his entrance.

Goldberg has a pre-match ritual of headbutting the door during his entrance before he competes in the ring. Over the years, Goldberg has headbutted the door several times in his career. But when he returned to WWE in 2016, his pre-match ritual put him in deep trouble.

In this specific instance, Goldberg headbutted the door and ended up cutting himself on the forehead. When he reached the ring, there was blood trickling down from his head, which made Vince McMahon really upset.

#2 The LaVar Ball segment

LaVar Ball appeared on Monday Night Raw in 2017, along with his sons Lonzo and LaMelo. WWE invited them since the trio were from Los Angles - the home of the Los Angles Lakers. They were part of the Miz TV segment, and the entire segment turned out to be a mess.

But the worst part about the segment was when LaMelo used a racial slur live on television. This infuriated Vince McMahon backstage further, aggravating his displeasure towards the spontaneous mess. Due to LaMelo's slip-up, WWE was forced to issue a public apology.

#1 Brock Lesnar bloodying Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 34

The main event of WrestleMania 34 was Roman Reigns facing Universal Champion Brock Lesnar. The match was heavily criticized, with many calling it the worst main event in WrestleMania history due to the the long duration and the controversial finish. Many WWE fans came out of the event disappointed.

The incident that irked Vince McMahon was rumored to be Lesnar busting up Reigns during the match, since it wasn't a planned move. WWE always tends to keep its product PG and this incident presumable made the sponsors unhappy as well.
