The show went off the air and what happened next sent shockwaves in the WWE.
Titus O’Neil playfully hugged Vince McMahon on the ramp, which was later described as a ‘playful, physical altercation’. O’Neil was initially handed a 90-day suspension due to unprofessional conduct, which was later reduced to 60 days.
The confusion regarding the entire incident still persists till this very day. Was O’Neil just cheerfully messing around with the boss? Did Vince McMahon overreact? Was there another angle to the story that the fans don’t know about?
Titus O’Neil’s long-time tag team partner Fred Rosser, FKA Darren Young spoke about the incident on the very first edition of ‘The Rosser Rewind’ for Sportskeeda’s Dropkick DiSKussions.
Rosser told host Korey Gunz that O’Neil was just unfortunate to have caught Vince McMahon on the wrong day. He explained that it all happened in the spur of the moment and his good friend had to sadly face the consequences.
Fred knows O’Neil really well and stated that his former Prime Time Players Tag Team partner is a great person and so is Vince McMahon. He had nothing bad to say about both men before admitting that he wished the infamous incident never happened in the first place.
Rosser even mentioned that O’Neil, despite being like a ‘big teddy bear’, can sometimes come across as an intimidating human being
