Ahead of WWE Money In The Bank, reports surfaced indicating Vince McMahon demonstrated a stunt during filming of the ladder matches at Titan Tower.
Becky Lynch recently spoke to TVInsider, stating that the 74-year-old WWE Chairman fell off a tower “without a bother”.
I watched him the other day demonstrate falling off a tower at 74-years-old without a bother, brushing his shoulders off and standing up again.
According to Fightful Select (subscription required), Becky Lynch was referring to a dive Vince McMahon took during Wrestlemania 36 rehersals.
Rob Gronkowski was reportedly “terrified”jumping off the podium at the WWE Performance Center prior to winning the WWE 24/7 Championship. This led to Vince McMahon doing the dive himself, to show him the spot was safe.
One person in the building said those there caught it and had a reaction of “did that just happen?,” and that Vince McMahon said something to the nature of “not so bad, is it?”
A source backstage indicated it took a significant amount of time to convince Gronk to actually move forward with the spot.
Vince McMahon is no stranger to rehearsing spots prior to talent moving forward with them.
As seen in the video and photo below, McMahon rode the zip-line used during Shawn Michaels Wrestlemania 12 entrance.
