5 Times WWE Superstars got physical with Vince McMahon in real life

#4 Vince McMahon and Kofi Kingston fight on a plane

Last year, Vince McMahon and Kofi Kingston feuded on the road to WrestleMania, with the boss doing everything he could to make sure that The New Day member wouldn't go to The Show of Shows and compete for the WWE title. He eventually did it and became the WWE Champion. Interestingly, Vince McMahon and Kingston once actually had a quick tussle on a plane. When the plane landed, McMahon passed a snide remark about Kingston getting over, to which the latter didn't respond.

Chris Jericho was responsible for what happened between Kofi Kingston and Vince McMahon next

A drunk Chris Jericho decided to make things interesting and coaxed Kofi Kingston into going back and confronting Vince McMahon in response to his comment. Kingston went back, had a quick chat with McMahon, which led to a scuffle between the two on the floor of the plane. Vince McMahon suddenly got back up and began laughing, and this was it as far as their 'fight' was concerned. Jericho wrote in his book that Kofi Kingston earned his respect that day. It would take around nine more years for him to win the big one in WWE.

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.
