Vince McMahon is arguably the biggest name in the world of pro wrestling, especially WWE. But with the passage of time, his appearances in the Stamford-based promotion have reached an all-time low. Due to the same reason, he hasn’t been on for a long time now.
Despite being away from the company, the larger-than-life personality was recently spotted at the Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou event on October 28. The 78-year-old’s appearance at the fight was not expected by many, and that’s why the fans were absolutely delighted.

While his presence was something that made pro wrestling world happy, the way he arrived left them unpleasant. Vince was spotted limping at event, and that’s why fans have been expressing their concern about seeing him in such a state that he had to carry a cane with him.
Sharing how the age has started taking a massive toll on Mr. McMahon‘s health, an audience member wrote, “Damn Vince is Fr getting old old.” “It’s so odd looking at Vince McMahon with a cane,” another WWE fan said while saying how it’s so odd to see the legendary pro wrestling figure with a cane for support.

Even though Mr. McMahon had to use a cane to walk, his visit was probably worth it, as Tyson won. The decision was controversial, but as The Gypsy King has been associated with WWE, Vince will surely be on the happier side of the audience after the ending of this fight.
Did Vince McMahon visit Saudi Arabia, especially for the Tyson Fury fight?
Vince McMahon arriving at the Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou fight with a cane was pretty odd for the fans, and a lot of them wondered if he had especially come to Saudi Arabia for this fight. But that’s not the case, as he’s probably in the country due to WWE Crown Jewel.
The Triple H-led promotion is set to organize its upcoming PLE in Riyadh, and that’s probably why Mr. McMahon has come to the Arabian country. The event is going to be held on November 4, 2023, at Mohammed Abdu Arena, and the match card is looking extremely exciting.
Alongside Roman Reigns’ match with LA Knight, which will most probably be the main event, a number of high-profile rivalries are set to unfold on the show. Among all the other performers, John Cena, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, and Cody Rhodes are some of the top names that’ll be seen performing at Crown Jewel.
So the final Crown Jewel card looks to be this:
— Wrestle Features (@WrestleFeatures) October 27, 2023
– Roman Reigns vs. LA Knight
– Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre
– IYO SKY vs. Bianca Belair
– John Cena vs. Solo Sikoa
– Rey Mysterio vs. Logan Paul
– Cody vs. Priest
– Rhea vs. Nia vs. Raquel vs. Zoey vs. Shayna
Good card?
With such a stacked match card, the Stamford-based promotion is expected to make a huge statement through their product. But can the premium live event match the expectations fans have for the show? Only the future knows, but it’ll be really interesting to see how well WWE fares in their show in the Arabian country.
