Vince McMahon Reportedly Furious With Byron Saxton At RAW

 


Vince McMahon is reportedly furious at Byron Saxton over his commentary during last Monday's post-WrestleMania 31 RAW, according to Reddit user and former WWE backstage worker MetsFan4Ever, who has broke numerous stories in the past. The report notes that the rest of RAW after the angle with Brock Lesnar taking out Michael Cole was supposed to just be Saxton doing commentary but as we saw, Jerry Lawler was sent out to assist. Lawler was in the building due to it being the night after WrestleMania and Vince reportedly called Lawler to the gorilla position shortly before 10pm and told him to go out and "breathe life into Byron." Despite Lawler going out to help, Vince apparently thought Saxton didn't improve and stayed upset at him.
 
The report also states that Vince reportedly ignored Saxton as soon as he returned backstage. After the angle with Lesnar, Cole was said to be in the gorilla position also and tried coaching Saxton through the broadcast. There is no heat on Cole for not being able to fix things from backstage as both Vince and Kevin Dunn reportedly feel that when Saxton was given a major opportunity, he did not "grab the brass ring." As always, some of this report should be taken as a rumor unless we hear more.
 
Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter was asked by a fan on Twitter if Vince really was upset with Saxton, mentioning the MetsFan report, and Meltzer said Vince was.
On a related note, both McMahon and Dunn are said to be very high on Renee Young right now but they want to keep her doing backstage segments and pre-shows for the time being. However, there is serious talk of bringing her to the RAW announce team sooner than later.

 
LOL i told ya monday night Vince was back there probably mad as hell lol.

I love how every story citing metsfan4ever says in it "MetsFan4Ever, who has broke numerous stories in the past". Hasn't he been wrong about a bunch of shit lol

 

[Teagz]

He's basically just another dirt sheet. Sometimes right, sometimes wrong.

Vince McMahon Upset with Steve Austin Over Questions Asked During Recent Podcast?
Regarding the issues between Steve Austin and Vince McMahon, they are said to be related directly to Austin’s live podcast on the WWE Network with Triple H that aired back in early February.
 
Vince was apparently not happy with some of Austin’s questions for Triple H and while we don’t have specifics yet, The Wrestling Observer Newsletter speculates that it could be Austin asking Triple H about Chyna going into the WWE Hall of Fame one day. That question really led to Chyna talking about Triple H on YouTube and then making the assault allegation in the interview with Vince Russo. This then forced Triple H to issue a statement and got the company some more bad press.
 
When officials wanted to bring a podcast to the WWE Network as a part of their new programming initiative, Vince wanted a new host and he chose Chris Jericho. As noted, Jericho’s first podcast airs this coming Monday after RAW with United States Champion John Cena and based on the preview that was released this week, there’s already a lot of speculation that it will be much more company-friendly than the previous two podcasts with Austin were.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Did the Cena/Jericho podcast even have one listener lol. No one cares about them

 

[Pugz]

can't believe jericho is going to be the puppet

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I can. Haven't you seen his tweets about roman reigns since the rumble?

 

[Pugz]

i just didn't want to see him go that route. he's obviously a huge vince supporter.

 

[Teagz]

Jericho's a schill. His podcast isnt even close to Austin's.

 

[The Guid]

I can. Haven't you seen his tweets about roman reigns since the rumble?

Yup, no one else has been behind Reigns. What a puppet.

 

[elcheato]

Vince suddenly got upset a few days before Wrestlemania with Austin over the podcast that occurred months prior? I doubt that is the reason. 
 
I'm sure he didn't like it, but let's not pretend that they're both hot headed and have had past issues. It could have been anything

he was trying to get austins podcast on the network fulltime and scsa wouldn't accept the offer.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I'm going to respond under the assumption that this is sarcasm:
 
I'm not saying nobody else was behind Reigns but Jericho was just blatantly sucking Reigns' and Vince's dick for no real reason.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Wait AJ Lee retired?

 

[The Guid]

Jericho is a major voice, one that fans still respect, so I'm sure the idea was to try and take some heat from the fans off him. Obviously, that didn't work. The irony of that plan (just speculation on my part) backfiring is clearly lost on them, though.
