WWE fans are well aware of how Vince McMahon’s mood keeps on swinging, all the time. Just like the on-screen character he plays, his mood is not okay, as per the recent reports.

Vince McMahon wasn’t in a good mood at all after the XFL shut down. It was a dream project of him which had to be closed for the second time in two decades.
Then a wrongful termination lawsuit was filed against him which didn’t help the matters. Moreover, WWE had to stop hosting live events which stopped the main source of income of the company. No wonder, The Boss is going through a lot of stress as of later.
Hence, it’s understandable that a bad phase is upon Vince McMahon for quite sometimes which forces him to be in a bad mood, most of the time. During PW Insider Elite Audio, Mike Johnson informed that McMahon’s mood has become a ‘running joke’, backstage in the WWE. But the superstars have to be extra careful these days to stay out of the sight of the Chairman.

Johnson then added that there is a history of people who work directly with Vince McMahon got suddenly terminated, moved from the existing position, or demoted. It doesn’t matter even if they’re his own family members, given the infamous mood that this man possesses.
