WWE Chairman Vince McMahon has been playing his on-screen character, Mr. McMahon, since the mid-nineties. Back in the day, he even competed in a handful of matches.
As the years have gone by, Vince has gotten older, and his physicality on-screen has reduced. But there have been instances over recent years where WWE superstars have gotten physical with him.
That being said, let's take a look at WWE Superstars, who got physical with Vince McMahon on-screen.
#5 Kevin Owens headbutted Vince McMahon on WWE SmackDown
During Kevin Owens' feud with Shane McMahon in 2017, he got into a heated exchange with Vince McMahon. On the September 21 episode of SmackDown, the latter appeared to announce that both would face each other inside Hell in a Cell at the eponymous pay-per-view.
Kevin Owens extended his hand to shake Vince's hand, but the former NXT Champion planted McMahon on the canvas with a headbutt as Vince went in. The attack left Vince bloodied as he was further attacked.
Behind the scenes, Vince told Kevin Owens not to hold back the headbutt to make it look as authentic as possible. He said CBS In This Corner podcast about the segment:
"I’ve said this before, to my relatives and friends, but there are moments in my WWE career: winning the Universal title, my debut in NXT, my debut on Raw. Winning the Intercontinental title was a huge deal for me, but being in the ring with Vince McMahon and giving him the worst beating he has probably ever taken outside of a wrestling match, but besides receiving the type of reaction when he went bell to bell with somebody, I don’t think I’ve seen anybody beat Vince McMahon to a pulp like how I beat him, but it was special. It was something that will stay with me for a very long time. When I look back on my accolades and the things I had accomplished, when it is all set and done it’ll be on the top of the list for sure," Kevin Owens said. (h/t Wrestling Inc.)
It most certainly intensified the feud between Owens and Shane. All credit to Vince McMahon, at age 72, for allowing Owens to go all-in with his headbutt for the segment.
#4 AJ Styles punches Vince McMahon backstage at WWE SmackDown
On the Christmas Day edition of WWE SmackDown in 2018, Vince McMahon and AJ Styles had a discussion backstage. It resulted in The Chairman firing AJ Styles up and also slapping him to get a reaction. Vince claimed that AJ had an animal inside of him waiting to come out.
In the end, AJ Styles retaliated by punching Vince in the face and knocking him down. The sad thing about this segment is that it never really led to anything significant, but it made a great visual for the WWE Universe.
#3 Brock Lesnar gave Vince McMahon an F5 on WWE RAW
Nobody is safe when Brock Lesnar is around, not even Vince McMahon. Lesnar interrupted Paul Heyman's job evaluation in 2013, and after the pair had a face-off in the middle of the ring, Vince warned Brock not to do something he would regret.
Brock decided to hoist The Chairman up and deliver an F5, which broke Vince's pelvis in the storyline, requiring surgery.
#2 Roman Reigns Superman-Punched Vince McMahon on WWE SmackDown
On the April 16, 2019 edition of WWE SmackDown, Vince McMahon introduced Elias as "the greatest acquisition in SmackDown history.".
The celebrations were cut short when Roman Reigns came down to the ring. He delivered a Superman Punch to Elias before doing the same to Vince. Reigns then claimed that SmackDown was his yard, signalling his dominance over the Blue Brand.
#1 Randy Orton punted Vince McMahon in the head on WWE RAW
During Triple H and Randy Orton's feud heading into WrestleMania 25, Orton set his sights on tormenting the McMahon family. But Vince McMahon wanted an apology from Randy Orton in the middle of the ring.
Vince threatened to fire Orton if he did not apologize. Orton said that wouldn't be a good idea if he did so. The former WWE Champion then hit Vince on deck before delivering a wicked punt to his head. The move legitimately gave Vince a concussion as the pair wanted to make it look as natural as it could be.
