Since Vince McMahon resigned from his several roles in WWE after being accused of sex trafficking and assault, the company has chosen to operate their weekly shows and Premium Live Events much differently. Under the vision of WWE CCO Triple H, President Nick Khan and TKO, fans have seen a massive increase in product integration as well as cross-promotional partnerships with brands like TNA. Last month, both business strategies were heavily featured during WrestleMania 41, but according to former WCW executive Eric Bischoff, McMahon would've despised the amount of new aspects presented throughout WWE's biggest show of the year.
"My perception, and what I've beentold about Vince would suggest to me that he hated the Joe Henryspot ...I think that the sponsorship, the mentions would be a distraction forVince. That was obviously a thing for him and this is a guy who goes nuts when he sneezes in public because it representsto him a lack of self-control and discipline. So for a guy who's wired thatway, to then see as much commercializationand product placement within his show that he hated, probably drove him batshit crazy." He said on "83 Weeks."
Bischoff also noted that Travis Scott's interruption during the main event match between John Cena and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship would've likely been another creative decision that would never be approved under McMahon's supervision.
