Former WWE manager commented on Vince McMahon's return to the company

The last year has been a rollercoaster journey for Vince McMahon and WWE fans. The 77-year-old came under investigation from the company's board of directors following misconduct allegations. He announced his retirement from pro wrestling following the allegations.

However, Vince returned from retirement a few days back. He was soon unanimously reinstated as the Executive Chairman, sending shockwaves through the wrestling world.

Teddy Long, a former WWE manager, commented on the turn of events on Sportskeeda Wrestling's The Wrestling Time Machine. Here's what he had to say:

"Well, in my opinion, I think this was good for him. I think he needed some rest. He was a workhorse. 24/7, all that he did was wrestling. So I think him getting away and getting some rest cause he hates sleep. He once told me that sleep was his enemy. So maybe him taking a break and getting away, maybe got a chance to rest, get some sleep, and get his thoughts backs together because, I mean, we all need that rest. That rest is really important. Now he got his thoughts together and he's ready to kick it back in gear," said Teddy Long.

There have been a lot of changes in the company's staff since Vince McMahon's return. Given his past track record, one can definitely expect the trend to continue in the coming time.
