Vince McMahon Returns:

Mr. McMahon gave his children, Shane and Stephanie, shared custody over Monday Night Raw, but ironically, it’s SmackDown Live that has caused friction between the two siblings. With both McMahons declaring their intentions to run SmackDown come Tuesday, July 19 (and fending off would-be usurpers ranging from Corporate Kane to John Laurinaitis) and the Brand Extension fast approaching, The Chairman is slated to return to Raw in the very same building where Shane himself made his comeback earlier this year. Could Mr. McMahon be on the verge of an executive decision? Or does he have a different COO in mind for SmackDown Live?

Sasha Banks returned to the ring on weekend WWE live events after suffering what was believed to be a concussion at the May 15th live event in Charlottesville, VA.

The injury reportedly happened when referee Darrick Moore accidentally hit Sasha with a knee to the head.

While the injury was a fluke and not Sasha’s fault, it may look bad for her to WWE officials as Vince McMahon has said on multiple occasions that he believes Sasha knows only one speed – all out. Vince was reportedly comparing Banks to Daniel Bryan months ago as he feels she is injury-prone.

Problems Between Steve Austin & Vince McMahon

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin did not travel to Santa Clara for WrestleMania 31 festivities. PWInsider Elite reports that Austin was scheduled  to fly into San Jose on the same flight with The Undertaker but Austin did not go. WWE even had an employee waiting to pick Austin up at the airport. WWE still thought he might show up because there was a room with his name on it backstage at Levi’s Stadium until mid-week.

There appears to be issues between Austin and Vince McMahon. One person close to the situation said they never seen Vince as angry about anything else. The rift between Austin and Vince reportedly has to do with Austin’s podcast on the WWE Network and Vince not liking some aspects of it. This is likely why  WWE Network is now carrying Chris Jericho’s podcast instead.

WWE also wanted Austin for the upcoming season of Tough Enough but he reportedly turned it down for an unknown reason. Some expect Austin to address his issues with WWE shortly.
