However, as most wrestling fans know, Trump has had a history with WWE and his relationship with Vince McMahon has been an interesting one over the years.
In 2007, Trump was involved in a storyline that culminated in a match at WrestleMania 23. His representative, Bobby Lashley, took on McMahon’s representative, Umaga, in a “Battle of the Billionaires.” The stipulation for the match was such that the superstar who lost the match would cause his representative to have his head shaved bald.
It should also be noted that “Stone Cold” Steve Austin served as the guest referee.

In a recent interview with Complex, Austin told the story of how McMahon convinced Trump backstage to end up on the receiving end of a “Stone Cold” Stunner after the match.
“Vince says to me, ‘Steve, I’m going to see if I can get Donald to take the Stunner,’” Austin recalls, referring to his signature finishing move, where he kicks an opponent in the gut then performs a sit-down jawbreaker. “I said, ‘you think?’ He says, ‘Oh yeah, it’ll be great, it’ll be great.’ He goes up to Donald and says, ‘Hey Donald, this is Stone Cold Steve Austin.’ I shook Donald’s hand. He goes, ‘Listen, I want to know if after the match, when everything is done, if Steve could hit the Stone Cold Stunner on you.’ Donald says, ‘You think it’d be a good thing?’ and Vince goes, ‘Oh, of course it would be. It would just blow the roof off the place.’ And Donald’s right hand guy was saying, ‘No, no, no! You don’t need to do this, we got other things to do!’ He’s trying to talk him out of it. And Donald says to Vince, ‘You think it’ll help?’ and Vince goes, ‘I promise you it’ll help.’ And Donald says, ‘Okay, I’ll do it.’
