Well, now that we know, Vince McMahon has grown no mustache, was he really backstage during this week’s episode of RAW? And if he was, does that mean he is back in WWE creative?
Sean Ross Sapp claims the former WWE CEO was backstage on RAW just to meet John Cena
Before exposing the fake photo, Sean Ross Sapp had made a Tweet in which he discussed why Vince McMahon was backstage. According to his sources, the 77-year-old is not back in WWE creative. In fact, he was reportedly there for a very different reason.
Sean Ross claims Mr. McMahon was backstage on RAW to visit John Cena who was making his return to the company. He added that Vince has had meetings with the 16-time champion “multiple times outside of WWE” in the last year.
Everything that I’ve heard thus far indicates that people at WWE Raw believe Vince McMahon was at the show to visit John Cena.
He’s visited Cena multiple times outside of WWE over the last year

Nevertheless, some fans might be disheartened that the photo of Vince McMahon with a mustache turned out to be fake. But they will be happy, at least he is not back in creative. Though Triple H has stated that McMahon offers him occasional advice, to which he is always open.
