5 Things that happened when Jose Mourinho appeared on WWE RAW

#3 Jose Mourinho met Vince McMahon backstage

Controversy seems to follow Jose Mourinho wherever he goes. As this article is being written, he has just walked out of a virtual press conference because the technology isn’t working properly, and #JoseOut has been trending on Twitter for three hours because his current club – Tottenham Hotspur – failed to beat relegation-threatened Bournemouth.

This would be a season-defining moment for most managers, but not Jose Mourinho. This is a standard matchday for the Portuguese coach.

Similarly, Vince McMahon is often the subject of debates on social media when his own team of performers – WWE Superstars – do not entertain fans to an adequate standard.

If a WWE storyline is well received by fans, the Superstars involved usually get the credit. If a WWE storyline is badly received by fans, Vince McMahon gets the blame.

This, as football fans will know, is similar to the sporting world, where big names like Jose Mourinho are not immune from heavy criticism from their own team’s supporters.

As you can see above, the two titans of sports and sports entertainment posed for a picture alongside Shane McMahon on the night of the April 2007 episode of RAW.
