One of the strangest off-script moments in recent memory. Following the Daniel Bryan retirement segment on Monday Night Raw, Vince McMahon headed back to the locker room. As he passed the wrestlers onstage, Titus O’ Neil grabbed Vince’s arm and seemed to share a laugh with him. After the fact, WWE announced that O’Neil had been suspended a shocking 90 days for “unprofessional conduct.” At the time, nobody – including O’Neil – was sure why the performer was suspended. So far as anyone can tell, it was related to the fact that he grabbed Vince McMahon’s arm. How such a simple moment could lead to a 90-day suspension – which was later reduced to 60 days – is something that nobody could really figure out.
According to a recent interview on the Sam Roberts Podcast, Titus O'Neil reveals the following:
"If Vince McMahon was racist, I would not be apart of this company, point blank period.
I don't need a cheque that bad. Quite honestly me and Vince have a very good relationship
even today."
