The man that we have been talking about is none other than the CEO and head of WWE, Vince McMahon. Today is his birthday, a date that coincides with the entire wrestling industry mourning Wyatt. Having been behind Wyatt Wyatt, from his NXT days to his main roster domination, McMahon helped Wyatt reach the heights in WWE.
