5 biggest unscripted WWE moments involving Vince McMahon

#2 Vince fires Kevin Owens up on SmackDown

Back in 2017, Kevin Owens and Vince McMahon had a verbal exchange on an episode of WWE SmackDown. It ended with Owens headbutting Vince as hard as he could, leading to the WWE Chairman getting busted open and falling down.

McMahon got up again and tried to attack Owens, but the villain responded with an attack of his own. Owens then superkicked the boss, followed by hitting him with a splash from the top rope.

Owens opened up on the segment while chatting with Chris Jericho and stated that being in the ring with him was a surreal experience. Owens then spilled the beans on what Vince McMahon told him seconds before he headbutted him.

Fans might be aware that Vince said something to Owens without using the mic before the latter attacked the WWE Chairman. Owens revealed that Vince tried to fire him up while speaking off-mic, and it did the job, as he was legit taken aback by the boss' swearing.

"Vince talking so much s**t off mic, I was legitimately taken aback. So many swear words."

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
