It’s all fun and games until someone takes the wrong name! So, who did it this time? It was Donald Trump, and he pronounced Umaga as “Umgana”.

Well, Mr. Trump was present at the Triller Fight Club show event. During that time, he recalled the WrestleMania where he went up against Vince McMahon in the Battle of the Billionaires. While talking about the pro-wrestlers involved, he referred to Umaga as Umgana, completely botching the name.

However, no one actually corrected him and the conversation moved on to Superstars Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar rather smoothly.

Back in 2009, WWE revealed that Raw would have a new owner, and much to the fans’ surprise, it was Mr. Trump. As soon as he came into power, he announced Raw would run commercial free. This meant Vince McMahon would lose money. Additionally, he made Randy Orton defend his title against Triple H.

Vince McMahon could not risk losing further money and offered to buy back Raw at double the price.
