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

#2 Randy Savage apparently slapped Vince McMahon in a bar

Randy Savage and WWE parted ways in 1994, following which the former went to WCW. He would never wrestle for Vince McMahon's promotion again and tragically passed away due to a heart attack in 2011. The real-life heat between Vince McMahon and Randy Savage became the stuff of legends, and no one had any idea as to what happened that caused a rift between the two, to the point that Savage never came back to WWE again.

Vince McMahon and Randy Savage didn't make amends, and fans never got to see him again in WWE

Savage was still making promotional appearances for Vince McMahon's company and was also featured in the WWE All Stars videogame. Mere days after Savage's passing, WWE Hall of Famer Roddy Piper posted a tweet that was intended to put all speculation to rest. Here's what Piper stated:

"Randy slapped Vince in a bar...End of that story!!"

Four years after Savage's passing, Vince McMahon finally gave the green light for his Hall of Fame induction. Savage got his deserved place in the WWE Hall of Fame, but we'll never know what happened between the two that led to Savage slapping Vince McMahon in a public place.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

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.
