I just want one wrestlemania toad with HHH running creative. I don’t know if #VinceMcmahon will mess with creative or not but just one Rumble and Mania without Vince. I need to witness it.

Vince McMahon coming back to the WWE is the worst thing to ever happen to that company. Poor Triple H was trying to make the product more likable and he was doing a good job at it, but then VKM has to return to ruin everything. God damn it. #VinceMcmahon #WWE

McMahon’s return is AEW gain!

If #VinceMcmahon comes back to the #WWE he will screw everything up again. This will be a good thing for #AEW if you think about it. #TripleH just took over and was gaining momentum and now Vince is coming back to sell. Talk about being petty.

#VinceMcmahon coming back to the #WWE would be their biggest mistake. This is good news for AEW. Vince needs to stay home like why in the hell are you coming back? Oh sorry you’re not in charge anymore. Dude is just petty and it’s sad.

This user doesn’t think Vinnie Mac ever left WWE.

#VinceMcmahon I knew he didn't ever really leave. You can tell from how WWE is still the same product other than calling up more NXT talent the product still has the same cheap comedy and the PG rating and the same guys at the top and the bottom. Vince hid until the heat cooled.

Is this fan trying to make a point?

So #VinceMcmahon was made to step down because he was using company money for hush payments to women he had sexual affairs with. Yet he is going to be allowed to return?? And after they released Mandy Rose for personal content she does on her private time?? #NoVince #WWE

The fact that #VinceMcmahon is holding his own company for ransom is crazy!
