Former WWE President and CEO Vince McMahon made a rare public appearance at Madison Square Garden a week later WWE Raw Place was taken at the same place. While WWE continued his European tour, McMahon participated in the NBA matchup between New York Nix and Miami Heat on 17 March.
Vince McMahon saw in MSG
During the broadcast, McMahon was shown a courtside sitting and was given a “former wrestling promoter” label.
The 78 -year -old, once considered a driving force behind the global success of WWE, has been out of public eyes since I moved away from WWE’s original company in 2024.
His presence in the high-profile NBA game comes amid the ongoing legal battle.
McMahon faces many cases
McMahon initially retired from WWE in July 2022, after the allegations from a former employee, Genel Grant, accused of sexual harassment and smuggling. The lawsuit, including former WWE executive John Laurinitis, was revised earlier this year to include additional details of alleged misuse.
WWE and TKO Holdings have attempted to challenge the updated complaint, but the legal team of Grant stated that amendments were necessary to outline the alleged misconduct.
Additionally, McMahon and his wife, Linda McMahon, are named in a separate trial filed by five anonymous WWE “Ring Boys”. In the trial, McMahon and WWE have been accused of allowing sexual abuse by former ring announcer Mail Philips. The matter is ready to proceed after the Maryland Supreme Court’s decision in February.
Social media reactions
The fans on X (East Twitter) had a field day, in which McMahon’s rare public appearance was discussed in the Naxal vs. Heat Game. Many people made fun of Vince’s presence.
Milk is better than this.

Others, however, were more serious when discussing their allegations. Some found his very public appearance disappointing on the part of the NBA.
It is interesting that he looks less weak and more healthy since he came out of the allegations.

McMahon’s future remains uncertain
Since the separation of relationships with WWE and selling their TKO stock, McMahon has only performed a few public performances. Reports suggest that he and Linda McMahon have separated for some time, and speculation continues about his next business move.
Rumors indicate that McMahon may prepare to start a new entertainment promotion, but the federal inquiry is still going on, his future remains uncertain.
As legal proceedings come out, McMahon’s latest high-profile attendance at the Madison Square Garden increases more conspiracy about what is further for the leading person in professional wrestling.
