This Friday marked a new era in WWE History. For the first time in 5 months, WWE shifted its live shows from the Performance Centre to the Amway Centre in Orlando. Stephanie McMahon, along with the entire WWE Universe, was a part of this change.

Not only is there a location change, but WWE is changing its entire programming with new technology. WWE has no plans to start live shows with the audience, but it does not want the fans to miss out on the action. Hence, WWE introduced ThunderDome, a new virtual experience for fans all around the globe.

However, Vince surely did not expect a horrifying confrontation. As soon as he welcomed the WWE Universe (virtually present through LED Boards), The Fiend’s music hit. Even though Mr. McMahon was not at all concerned, his daughter Stephanie McMahon was.

She tweeted a photo, warning him not to get inside the ring with The Fiend Bray Wyatt.

Despite the chilling entrance, Vince was not bothered. He even mimicked Wyatt’s entrance.

After he came to the ring, Braun Storwman’s music hit. As the monster among men made his entrance to the ring, Mr. McMahon vanished from sight.
