In a shocking twist, Hall of Famer Tommy Dreamer has come forward with a bombshell theory that has left the WWE universe buzzing. Speaking on the popular podcast Busted Open After Dark, Dreamer expressed his strong conviction that Vince McMahon, the former WWE Chairman and CEO, may have been behind the mysterious phone calls that have been plaguing Randy Orton throughout the storyline.
Dreamer’s speculation stems from Monday’s pivotal segment on Raw, which saw Stephanie McMahon confront Cody Rhodes over his recent actions. While the confrontation itself was intense, it was the aftermath that caught Dreamer’s attention. According to the wrestling legend, the way Stephanie McMahon handled the situation, particularly her tone and body language, suggested to him that she may not be the one calling the shots.
“It was like she was reciting a script,” Dreamer said on the podcast. “I’ve seen her get angry before, but this was different. It was like she was trying to sell a story. And the way she spoke about Cody, it was almost… calculated. I’m not saying she’s not capable of being angry, but this was something more.”
Dreamer’s observation has sparked a flurry of speculation among fans and insiders alike. Could Vince McMahon, who has been absent from the WWE since his retirement, be secretly manipulating the storyline from behind the scenes? The idea may seem far-fetched, but Dreamer believes that the evidence is there.
“I’ve been around the block a few times, and I’ve seen some crazy stuff happen in this business,” Dreamer said. “But this, to me, seems like a possible explanation. I’m not saying it’s definite, but it’s definitely something to consider.”
According to a WWE insider, Dreamer’s theory is not as far-fetched as it seems. The source revealed that Vince McMahon has been keeping a close eye on the WWE’s inner workings, even from afar.
“Vince has always been a hands-on guy, and even though he’s not in the day-to-day operations, he’s still very much invested in the company,” the insider said. “He’s been known to make his opinions known, even if it’s just through subtle suggestions. It’s not impossible to believe that he might be pulling the strings from behind the scenes.”
While the WWE has yet to comment on Dreamer’s speculation, sources close to Cody Rhodes have revealed that the former champion has been aware of the possibility of Vince McMahon’s return for some time.
“Cody’s been preparing for this scenario for weeks,” a source revealed. “He’s been studying the old tapes, looking for any clues that might indicate Vince’s return. He’s not taking anything for granted, but he’s also not ruling it out. He knows that Vince is a master manipulator, and he’s not going to be caught off guard.”
As WrestleMania 42 approaches, the WWE universe is on the edge of its seat, wondering what the future holds. Will Vince McMahon make a surprise return, or will the storyline continue to unfold without his involvement? One thing is certain: Tommy Dreamer’s speculation has added a new layer of complexity to the narrative, and fans will be watching closely to see how it all plays out.
In the meantime, the WWE faithful are left to speculate about the possibility of Vince McMahon’s return. While it may seem like a long shot, Dreamer’s theory has sparked a renewed sense of excitement and curiosity about the WWE’s future.
As one fan aptly put it, “The WWE is all about storytelling, and if Vince McMahon is indeed behind the scenes, it would be the ultimate twist. The question is, how far will he go to shake things up?”
Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the WWE universe will be watching with bated breath as the story unfolds.
