Vince McMahon surprised Zelina Vega
In September, the WWE Universe wondered why Zelina Vega was pulled from the WWE Friday Night SmackDown show on the evening of September 11.
The reason the WWE suffered the backlash of Vega not being on SmackDown was that Vega’s father was one of the victims of the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01 and the world wanted to see it.
However, little did anyone know, WWE chairman, Vince McMahon called Zelina repeatedly and apologized for his mistake of removing Vega from a show which had so much sentimental value for her.

“When it got cut, Vince called me and apologized because he wanted to make sure that I knew ‘listen, this wasn’t done to you personally or anything, it was literally just this [the time], I had to make that call and I’m so sorry.’ And people don’t know that side either.” she said.
It’s good to hear about such stories of Vince McMahon and it feels like there is another side of the boss and the WWE Universe would like to know some of it.
