WWE legend Vince McMahon is a one of the most prominent names in taking this promotion to the heights it’s currently at. But he’s no longer an active on-screen figure in the Stamford-based promotion. Despite being away for a while now, the legend is quite popular, and pro wrestling fans follow him wherever he goes.
Similarly, Mr. McMahon was recently spotted at an event in Saudi Arabia. He was seen attending the Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou fight on October 28, but he wasn’t the only American sensation to do so. Alongside him, Eminem also made his presence felt at the event, and they were sitting just a seat apart in the arena.
As the 51-year-old entertainment industry star refused to work with WWE five years ago, fans thought that they might have differences. But in an unexpected turn of events, Eminem has made a surprising comment on Vince after their meetup during the ‘Battle of the Baddest’ event.

Sharing a picture from Saturday’s show, which includes Vince as well as Mike Tyson, the rapper wrote an unexpected caption. Referring to the fellow stars as his friends, Marshall Mathers wrote, “Just watching the fight with some friends.”
It was reported in March 2019 that WWE had signed the rapper to contribute to the 2K20 game’s soundtrack. It was claimed that he’d also appear on SmackDown, but his spokesperson said that it never went beyond preliminary discussions. (Via: NME)
The Stamford-based promotion probably wanted to have him work for them, and he didn’t agree. Thus, it was speculated that the two parties may have issues with each other. But Eminem’s recent post is probably a hint that they aren’t on bad terms, and it’s just a hyped rumor.
Vince McMahon wasn’t at the best of his health during his meetup with Eminem
Vincent and Eminem’s meetup was a great thing, but Kennedy wasn’t at the best of his health during this meetup. Fans got to know about his health as soon as the 78-year-old arrived for the Tyson vs Francis fight.
As the pro wrestling figure made his arrival for the October 28 event, he was accompanied by The Undertaker. But the audience was left highly concerned when they observed him limping. The reason that led to this observation was that he was seen having a cane for support.

It was something nobody really expected, and that’s why fans felt pretty odd when they saw Vincent with a cane. As it seemed like he’s having issues walking, the pictures of him walking with a cane went viral. But after Eminem posted a picture with Vince and Tyson, the limelight shifted to that photograph.
With the legend no longer being an on-screen figure for WWE, fans miss his presence on TV. So, will he decide to have a final run for the audience? If we look at his current health, it seems a bit difficult to happen. But as it’s generally said in pro wrestling, Never say never.
