Many Superstars in WWE today have felt the wrath of the Chairman of the Board.

Vince McMahon is the head honcho of WWE for a reason. For decades, McMahon has dominated the world of Sports Entertainment, helping transform his father's company from just one of several promotions to the biggest wrestling company in the world.

But for all the success McMahon has had both in and out of the ring, there have been some Superstars who have rubbed the boss up the wrong way. Whether deliberate or accidental, there have been some wrestlers in the past who have wrong the boss and suffered the consequences. And this pattern has even continued in 2019.

Here are five WWE Superstars that have enraged Vince McMahon backstage in 2019.


#5: Sasha Banks

Sasha Banks' 2019 has been an interesting time to say the least. After capturing the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships with Bayley at Elimination Chamber, the pair lost the titles at WrestleMania with the Boss reportedly having an incident backstage at the show of shows.

Though we still don't know what exactly happened, Banks would continue to make headlines for the wrong reasons, being just one of many WWE Superstars who showed their support for rival promotion AEW when the company hosted their Double or Nothing event. Unsurprisingly, Vince McMahon reportedly furious with those who tweeted support, a long list that includes everyone from Peyton Royce to Luke Gallows to Big E to Matt Hardy.

Whilst Banks wasn't the only person who shared their support for All Elite Wrestling, her tumultuous 2019 which has seen WWE and the Boss herself receive some negative press certainly won't have gone down well with the Chairman of the board.

#4: Goldberg

Goldberg's first time evr match with The Undertaker failed to live up to the hype.

When Goldberg returned to WWE in late 2016, the former World Champion was met with a hero's welcome, so it made sense when the WWE tried the same idea in 2019. Being announced for Super Showdown against The Undertaker, the dream match quicky turned sour, as both men showed their fragility and age.

A match that WWE fans won't be forgetting anytime soon, the poor performance by Goldberg was recently brought up by Dolph Ziggler on SmackDown Live, and according to reports, the ShowOff was scripted to take shots at the former Universal Champion.

The same reports have stated that McMahon, and other WWE executives are still furious with Goldberg for how the match went down in Jeddah and though he may be a WWE Hall of Famer, only time will tell whether we see Goldberg in a WWE ring ever again.

#3: The Undertaker

The Deadman returned to WWE in June this year coming to the aid of Roman Reigns.

The Undertaker and WrestleMania go together like Mick Foley and thumbtacks, which is why it was so surprising this year that the Phenom didn't appear at the show of shows. Appearing the next night on RAW, things definitely seem strange for the Deadman this year, and it may be due to Starrcast.

After being announced for the independent convention, McMahon was reportedly furious at the Phenom, who not long after was pulled from the show. Tensions between the two continued to flare as according to the same report, the Deadman believed his career after his Super Showdown loss to DX last year, which is why the Phenom took the Starrcast booking in the first place.

Though the Deadman has re-signed with WWE, it still goes to show that nobody, not even a legend should ever cross the boss.

#2: Sami Zayn

Zayn mentioning AEW didn't go down well with the boss.

Sami Zayn has been a part of WWE for over half a decade now, but the former El Generico hasn't exactly done too much during his tenure. Despite being a former NXT Champion, Zayn has spent the majority of his career in pointless mid-card feuds or on the shelf and hasn't been making headlines.

One time the Canadian Superstar did make a buzz was in May this year, as Zayn name-dropped new promotion All Elite Wrestling during Monday Night RAW. Unsurprisingly, this didn't sit well with the boss, who according to reports was furious with the underdog from the underground about mentioning AEW.

It's unclear whether Zayn was punished for his actions, but the Canadian is still yet to hold gold on the main roster, and despite being a feature of the red brand, is almost always on the losing end of matches.

#1: Triple H

The Game has been at odds with his father-in-law in 2019.

Triple H may be Vince's son-in-law, but that doesn't mean the King of Kings and WWE COO is immune from his father's wrath. Earlier this year, the pair reportedly had a "backstage falling out" which seemed to stem from the different perspectives and ideas Vince and The Game have for the company.

One report stated that Triple H, who took the reins as COO in 2013 is the "most frustrated person backstage every night”, and with his father-in-law reportedly not bothering to watch the 14-time World Champion's baby NXT, it's easy to see why a falling out between the two happened.

Earlier this year, the King of Kings liked a tweet criticising Vince, suggesting that the recent rating slumps was directly his fault, and though Triple H quickly unliked the tweet, fans couldn't help but notice.
