WWE Rumor Roundup: Randy Orton almost got female star in trouble, former MITB winner tipped to leave, Eva Marie's return (4th May 2021)

#2 Did Jeff Jarrett threaten Vince McMahon in WWE?

There had been rumors that Jeff Jarrett had to 'threaten' Vince McMahon to get his paycheck before he left WWE in 1999. However, speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Double J made it clear that no such thing happened and all these rumors are baseless.

"Vince didn’t have to pay me, the night of the Chyna match. He’s the promoter, he’s the boss. You know, “Jeff held Vince up!” Really?! With a thirty-eight or a forty-five? I mean, come on, that’s so preposterous! But he gave me the check, I went… I tried to give my effort, as much as is humanly in me, each evening. And I did it that night as well," said Jarrett.

Jarrett further clarified that there was never a need to bury a hatchet with McMahon as the two men parted ways on good terms. The Hall of Famer remembered hugging McMahon before leaving and there was no bad blood between the two.

Jeff Jarrett left WWE in 1999 after his contract came to an end. In his last match, he dropped the IC Championship to Chyna.
