The rumors were indeed true. During an interview with TV Insider, Becky Lynch revealed a few months ago that WWE CEO, Vince McMahon, demonstrated a dive off a platform and got up as if it was nothing.

"Vince is such a larger-than-life character. At the same time, I watched him the other day demonstrate falling off a tower at 74-years-old without a bother, brushing his shoulders off and standing up again."

Fightful asked around backstage. They learned that Becky Lynch was referring to Rob Gronkowski's dive from WrestleMania 36. The Fightful Select report revealed that Gronk was apparently nervous about the spot.

Vince McMahon decided that he would do the spot himself to show him it's safety. The WWE CEO is no stranger to such demonstrations.

In a sneak peek of WWE 24: WrestleMania: The Show Must Go On, Vince McMahon took the 10ft bump. It was even better than what was stated in the report.

Vince McMahon withstood the fall like a 24-year-old Superstar and sprung right back up, which undoubtedly gave Gronkowski the confidence to replicate the dive.

As many have heard, Vince McMahon won't tell his wrestlers to do something that he wouldn't personally do. That statement gained even more credibility after the video above him the internet. As Rhea Ripley rightfully said, "it's a Vince thing."
