The former writer of WWE exclusively talked about Vince McMahon on the recent episode of the Wrestling with Freddie podcast. Prinze took The Prizefighter’s debut against John Cena as a success for WWE.

The 47-year-old said, “It’s been proven before like with Kevin Owens, right, coming out of NXT and everybody loved this guy. So he debuts on RAW they give him John Cena and he beats him.”

He added, “He does his own finisher to him and says you can’t see me, and look at the reward you got out of that. And don’t tell me it wasn’t it didn’t pay off because you re-sign him to a multi-million dollar contract. So you know, he’s money.”

After his debut, Owens had a clean victory over The Cenation Leader, which was a big thing at the time. It is safe to say that McMahon might have got impressed and elevated the former Universal Champion in the company.
