Former WWE Champion reveals the backstage mentality of the roster after Vince McMahon's return
Vince McMahon's surprising return to the company shocked the world of professional wrestling and once again changed the landscape of the company. New Day's Kofi Kingston recently revealed the backstage mentality of the roster after McMahon's return.
Last year, Vince McMahon was surrounded by allegations and controversies which led him to step back from his roles and duties in WWE. He later announced his retirement and left the company in the hands of Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, and Nick Khan.
Last week, McMahon made his way back into the company as he became one of the members of the Board. He was later unanimously voted in and became the Executive Chairman.
Speaking on SHAK Wrestling, Kofi Kingston revealed the backstage mentality of the roster on McMahon's return:
"Whatever happens on the outside of the company is going to happen. We really have no idea like what's transpiring but our role again remains the same; go out there and put on great matches. Regardless of whoever's in charge or whoever owns this or that... I think the mentality for us is just to kind of like you said man, laser vision and keep putting on great matches."
