WWE Rumor Roundup: Vince McMahon's 'distasteful idea' rejected, real reason why Otis lost MITB contract and more - 30th October 2020

#1 Vince McMahon asked The New Day to stop throwing things at the WWE commentary desk

The New Day

Big E was talking to Corey Graves on the After The Bell podcast when he revealed that The New Day were asked to stop throwing things at the WWE commentary desk. The faction used to throw objects at Graves and Michael Cole, but the WWE Chairman asked them not to do it.

However, Big E reveals that he would listen for about a month before getting back to throwing things. He claims that Vince McMahon usually forgets what he had commanded and that loophole was used by The New Day. He said:

"I think it was pancakes and it may have been an on-cam and I disrupted it. He Who Shall Not Be Named [Vince McMahon] he asked us to stop throwing things at you. It's one of those things where, if I'm told not to do something, I'll stop and then I'll wait a month because he usually forgets and then I'll start doing it again and if he doesn't say anything, I'll keep doing it."

"We probably got two days in advance. Which, I think a lot of it was to ensure that we didn't show up to work and if we heard the news then, I assume that people just imagine that we would be tearing up the halls, knocking down doors, crying in public, just fits of rage."

The New Day were split in the WWE Draft this month with Big E staying on SmackDown while Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods moved to Monday Night RAW.
