For most of the fans, Vince McMahon‘s hierarchical ebb in WWE has been a breath of fresh air. The 78-year-old hasn’t been around for a long time, He was recently axed from meddling in creative meetings as well by Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel. However, that doesn’t mean McMahon has completely nestled into the shadows. Having said that, Vince made a rare visit to the brand-new WWE headquarters this past Wednesday.

According to PWInsider, the former WWE CEO traveled to the company’s power base to attend the annual holiday party. The report noted that McMahon’s appearance seemed unusual, as he didn’t use to mark his presence in the previous editions of the aforementioned bash. However, sources close to the situation described Vince McMahon’s mood as approachable and friendly.
