5 Times Vince McMahon threatened to fire WWE Superstars but didn't

#1 Vince McMahon threatened to fire anyone who ruined WrestleMania 36

Vince McMahon was forced to drastically change WWE’s plans for WrestleMania 36 due to COVID-19 social distancing regulations.

Instead of the event being held in front of over 70,000 fans at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, WrestleMania took place without any fans in attendance at WWE’s Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

As a result, WrestleMania was filmed two weeks in advance and Vince McMahon had to trust that match outcomes would not be leaked by anyone before the event.

According to Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso, Vince McMahon was even prepared to fire people who gave out spoilers.

“Leaking information is a fireable offense, Sports Illustrated has learned. Along with Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn, Paul Heyman and Bruce Prichard, there are only a finite number of people present for each filming session.

“The majority of the agents are not present for the matches. The agents that are local to Florida include Adam Pearce, 'Road Dogg' Jesse James, Jamie Noble, and Shawn Michaels—and they are the unlikeliest of candidates to leak match results.

“Lead broadcaster Michael Cole gets no benefit from leaking results, nor do any of the other members of the broadcast team.”

Luckily for Vince McMahon and the rest of WWE’s higher-ups, no match results were leaked and fans were able to enjoy two spoiler-free nights of WrestleMania 36.
