The rumor mill is whispering that Vince McMahon will indeed have a match at WrestleMania. Moreover, the match will be against SmackDown commentator Pat McAfee. Vince McMahon will appear on the Pat McAfee show very soon.
Consequently, this might be the beginning of their WrestleMania program. While there is no official confirmation yet, WWE legend Vince Russo has commented on the possibility of the match happening at the grandest stage of them all.
If the @WWE has to put a 76 year-old in the ring to put asses in seats, they’re going to do it. The question is: how the hell did you allow yourselves to get to this point? That is absolutely nuts.

Russo used to work as a writer and producer with WWE back during the Monday Night Wars. He is responsible for producing some incredible matches and storylines in the past. However, after WWE and Russo parted ways, he joined WCW and became a major writer backstage.
Towards the end of the Wars when WCW was on its last straws, Russo even became the WCW Champion. Moreover, Russo has not officially worked for WWE for a while now. He seems to think that the match will happen and the rumors are true.
However, he criticized WWE for reaching a point in their booking, where this will be necessary at the showcase of the immortals.
