Vince McMahon Considered Wrestling At WrestleMania 34

Vince McMahon Considered Wrestling At WrestleMania 34

Vince McMahon last wrestled in 2012 in the famous match which saw CM Punk escape through the crowd and strike a fan. After several years passed, it seemed that McMahon had retired from in-ring competition. However, it turns out that just two years ago, when he was aged 72, he considered competing at WrestleMania 34. This was revealed by Kevin Ownes in an interview with Inside The Ropes, where he spoke about his feud with Shane McMahon, which included the memorable time he headbutted Vince.

Yeah, that was really cool, I wish it would have led to more, honestly. But who wouldn’t feel that way? I think it could have, and I think it almost did. I really think, at one point, there was a chance that it was going to be me and Sami Zayn against Shane and Vince at WrestleMania – which would have been incredible – but Vince, I remember one of the things he had told me was, “I can’t run WrestleMania and focus on a match at the same time.”

Vince felt like his best position was to not be in the ring, you know? But then also it was also the perfect situation for Bryan’s return, He got cleared medically, and the storyline was already in progress. He was already so heavily involved in the storyline just because him and Shane were running SmackDown together, and obviously, that was an incredible thing to be a part of Daniel’s return, especially in that building where he won the title at WrestleMania XXX, so it was great.Kevin Owens

As Owens said, the match at WrestleMania 34 ended up being Daniel Bryan and Shane defeating Zayn and him in Bryan’s first match in three years. The match itself received mixed reviews as it featured Bryan being stretched out and Shane being involved for the majority of the match. Once Bryan returned and got the hot tag, the match picked up, and it was great to see Bryan wrestling again. Regardless of what you think of the match, it was much better to have had Bryan wrestling instead of Vince.
