Former WWE Superstar Mace recently revealed the locker room's reaction to Vince McMahon's retirement and Triple H assuming control of Creative.

In July 2022, Vince retired from WWE amid allegations of misconduct. His daughter, Stephanie McMahon, became the new chairwoman and co-CEO alongside Nick Khan. Meanwhile, his son-in-law, Triple H, took over Creative.

Speaking on Cafe de Rene, Mace recalled the locker room's reaction to Vince's retirement and Triple H taking control of Creative. He disclosed that some superstars were happy while others were upset.

"[So, there's a clear distinction between Hunter's guys and Vince's guys, right?] The day the [Vince's retirement] text went out, you could see you we were all looking at our phones. We were all looking at our phones and you saw certain people that were like, 'Yes! [celebrating]' And you saw certain people who were like, 'Oh! [upset]'" Mace said. [From 21:59 - 22:19]

The Saudi star claimed that the superstar showed up at SmackDown dressed in a leather jean jacket similar to the one Triple H used to wear years ago.

"I'll never [forget]. I won't say who it was but the next week we go to SmackDown and somebody shows up, I sh*t you not, in the f***ing leather jean jacket Hunter showed up in. We were making fun of that person so much. We were like, 'Oh, you little kiss a**. You kiss a**. We know what you're doing,'" he said. [From 22:23 to 22:39]
