Vince McMahon is currently battling several factors both in his professional and personal lives. A spinal surgery, which took place in late July, has sidelined him from the WWE for the foreseeable future. And while the 77-year-old is currently recuperating, he has been hit by another bad news. A former employee, who has emerged as McMahon’s biggest critic in recent times, has vowed to exact revenge by dating his wife Linda McMahon.

This could further compound the problems for Vinnie Mac. To make matters worse, the disgruntled ex-employee, Ryback, has spoken about a detailed plan.

It is no secret that the 41-year-old pro wrestler isn’t on WWE’s guest list and judging by how things are unfolding, it will take some time before he earns any favor from the promotion. Undeterred by it, Ryback has taken a shot at the WWE and McMahon and has accused them of putting roadblocks on his career.

He regularly airs his grievances on X, erstwhile Twitter, and also shares his complaints on live streaming. On a recent stream, the former Intercontinental Champion joked about getting into a relationship with Linda McMahon, Vince McMahon’s wife.

He said he has been getting calls from a number associated with the woman and thought it would be good revenge on the 77-year-old to start dating her. “What a play that would be. It really is. Linda and I start dating. That would be the ultimate payback. Ryback and Linda McMahon married,” he said.

Ryback also dragged in Vince McMahon’s old friend Donald Trump into his business. “You see me, Linda and Trump hanging out in Vegas. Out at the steakhouses campaigning. Me posting petty selfies of me and Linda having a good time out by the pool just to get back at Vince,” he said.

It is not the first time that McMahon has been under attack from a former employee. But seldom does his family, especially his wife, get dragged into issues. It also made no sense as Linda McMahon is no longer related to the WWE, having left the promotion in 2009.

And while Vince McMahon is yet to reply to the comment, Ryback has been belittled by another WWE legend, who questioned his skills.

Ryback has been on a rant about not just WWE and McMahon, he has also been equally caustic about many WWE wrestlers, including Booker T.

After verbally attacking the two-time Hall of Famer, he got the latter to respond. He also challenged Ryback’s proposal to fight but later backed out.

According to reports, Booker T doesn’t want a showdown in public. However, the NXT commentator recently spoke about it on his podcast. He appeared to appreciate Dutch Mantell’s notion that Booker T would win against Ryback in a match.

Speaking on his Hall of Fame podcast, King Booker said, “Big shout out to Dutch Mantell for putting me over saying I’d beat the hell out of Ryback in a fight and that’s true. That’s damn true.”

It’s unfortunate that Booker T doesn’t want a fight in public. Maybe Vince McMahon can commission one and even be the referee. That’ll put three people who have a story to tell.
