Vince McMahon is in great physical shape, even at the age of 76. Arguably one of the greatest on-screen heels in the history of professional wrestling, Mr. McMahon is reportedly set for a surprising in-ring return at this year's WrestleMania.
According to a report by John Pollock of Post Wrestling, McMahon is set to have a program with Pat McAfee at The Show of Shows.
"POST Wrestling can confirm that Vince McMahon is expected to launch a program with Pat McAfee, which will include WrestleMania 38. Multiple sources informed us that McAfee was set for something on the show involving McMahon. When speaking with a source with knowledge of the situation and whether it will be billed as an official match on the WrestleMania card, we were told 'most likely,'" the report said.
WWE has already announced that Vince McMahon would be appearing as a guest on The Pat McAfee Show next week and the feud is expected to kick off during this show.
McMahon last wrestled in a WWE ring nearly ten years ago on an episode of Monday Night RAW in October 2012 against CM Punk.
