Titus O’Neil Suspended Following Incident With Vince McMahon

No matter what is going on, it seems that you must never cross the boss.

According to PWInsider.com, WWE superstar Titus O’Neil has been suspended for up to 90 days due to unprofessional conduct. He was reportedly sent home from the “Smackdown” tapings last night in Portland, Oregon, shortly after arriving at the arena.

 

The incident occurred during the final segment of last week’s episode of “Monday Night Raw.” As “Raw” was going off the air, Daniel Bryan was heading towards the back, through all of the superstars that were applauding for him on the top of the ramp. Supposedly, O’Neil grabbed McMahon in a “playful, loving way,” which caused McMahon to shove him back.

McMahon was incredibly angry by this, which led to the suspension.

WWE has since removed the Network tribute video from the Network and WWE.com, and will likely edit it to remove the incident.

O’Neil has received several awards recently for his charity work, including being named “Celebrity Dad of the Year” in 2015.

A video has surfaced on Twitter, showing exactly what happened:

Editor’s Note:

When I first read this story, I thought that it just looks like a big misunderstanding. O’Neil is clearly one of the most positive ambassadors for the company, and it looks like he was just trying to have some fun with his boss. I hope that WWE handles this situation appropriately, and we see O’Neil back on camera sooner rather than later. He is a wonderful talent, who could do great things in WWE if he was booked properly.
