Vince McMahon recently reacted to WWE s investigation into allegations against him

Many fans were wondering if McMahon would address WWE's investigation into the $3 million settlement during his appearance on SmackDown. That didn't happen, but McMahon did on the investigation while stepping away from his position. “I have pledged my complete cooperation to the investigation by the Special Committee, and I will do everything possible to support the investigation. I have also pledged to accept the findings and outcome of the investigation, whatever they are,” said Vince McMahon. Roman Reigns' title match against Riddle was his first televised defense since winning the WWE title from Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38. This was also the first singles encounter between the two men. Reigns' victory celebration was marred by Brock Lesnar's return.
