— As reported earlier, Titus O’Neil has been suspended for 60 days and fined $5,000 for grabbing Vince McMahon by the arm as Raw went off the air last week.
— According to backstage sources, Vince McMahon was livid and thus initially suspended him for 90 days before slightly cooler heads decided that it should be reduced to 60 days, amid a plethora of negative publicity. While many backstage have questioned why O’Neil was even suspended in the first place, one source stated to rajah.com that Vince was “kind of embarrassed” (at having been grabbed on live TV in front of everyone) and wanted to make a statement that unscripted actions like that on TV would not be tolerated.
— O’Neil explained the incident a few days later by saying that he was simply trying to hold Vince back so that Stephanie could precede both of them, in a sort of a “ladies first” mentality.
