3 Times Vince McMahon 'screwed' wrestlers at the last moment
Tonight on WWE SmackDown, the fans were left in a state of shock as Vince McMahon interrupted the contract signing for the WWE title match at the Fastlane PPV. As an elated Kofi Kingston was about to sign the contract, Vince McMahon came out of nowhere and announced that he was replacing Kofi with a more deserving superstar, Kevin Owens.
A dejected Kofi along with his visibly furious brothers left the ring and Owens signed the contract, making the match official.
This isn't the first time Vince McMahon has pulled something like this. He has been notorious for screwing popular WWE superstars at the last moment. Let's take a look at three of these instances.
#3 John Cena, Elimination Chamber 2010
As WrestleMania 26 grew closer, John Cena successfully defended his WWE title against 5 men inside the hellish structure. As Cena was about to leave the ring, he was interrupted by Vince McMahon, who announced that Cena could go on to defend his championship at the grandest stage of them all, but only if he managed to defend it successfully against Batista.
Out came The Animal, who made short work of Cena, and won the WWE championship in the process. The match wasn't announced beforehand and Cena was screwed over by the owner of the company, though Cena managed to even the odds by taking his title back from Batista at WrestleMania 26.
