"This is how his mind works" – Wrestling personality details why Vince McMahon appeared on RAW and SmackDown

Acclaimed wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently spoke about the way Vince McMahon made an appearance on both SmackDown and RAW this past week.

WWE announced that Mr. McMahon had voluntarily decided to step back from his position as Chairman and CEO of the company for the duration of an investigation regarding claims of misconduct. McMahon, however, will continue to fulfill his responsibilities related to WWE’s creative content.

Senior Sportskeeda journalist Bill Apter was on the Top Story podcast this week where he spoke about Mr. McMahon's successive appearances on both brands. He mentioned that Vince was a businessman and was figuring out a way to improve ratings despite the ongoing controversy.

"It was a genius move for him to announce that he was appearing on SmackDown because the ratings went through the ceiling. So no matter what he's going through mentally with the scandal, he goes, 'What can we do to get the ratings up?' Seriously, I mean this is how his mind works," said Apter. (From 7:23 - 7:42)
