Report: Titus O’Neil suspended by WWE for grabbing Vince McMahon

WWE has reportedly suspended Titus O’Neil for playfully grabbing Vince McMahon. 

WWE has reportedly suspended star Titus O’Neil in the wake of his actions from Monday Night RAW this past Monday. He was sent home from the Smackdown taping on Tuesday night and will be out for an undisclosed amount of time with the suspension. He was officially suspended due to “unprofessional conduct,” according to PW Insider.

Now some of you may be asking what the unprofessional conduct was that led to the suspension of one of the biggest ambassadors that the company has.

Well, that’s where things get a little weird.

Monday night as we all know the company held the Daniel Bryan retirement ceremony. All of the superstars were on the stage to pay their respects and that included Vince McMahon. As the broadcast was going off the air and everyone was making their way to the back, O’Neil could be seen playfully grabbing Vince’s arm. From there, McMahon shoved O’Neil away in what looked like a playful, yet physical exchange from both parties. However, it was anything but.

Apparently McMahon did not appreciate what had taken place there, playful or not, and this has led to O’Neil being put on the shelf. Now the suspension reportedly could put him out for up to 90 days, meaning that if he is out for that long, he’s going to lose out on a WrestleMania paycheck as well, which is something no wrestler wants.

WWE will surely be taking to their website soon to announce this, as they do with all suspensions. So when they update the matter, we will as well.
