As previously reported, during the 2026 Royal Rumble post-show, fans loudly chanted, “We Want Vince,” calling for the return of former WWE Chairman Vince McMahon when WWE Chief Content Officer Paul "Triple H" Levesque made an appearance. The crowd also chanted “Y2J” in reference to Chris Jericho, who did not show up at the event as speculated, along with an “AEW” chant. Similar “We Want Vince” chants occurred during the December 13, 2025, Saturday Night’s Main Event special, which featured John Cena’s final match.
Sean Ross Sapp discussed the reaction to these chants in the latest edition of Fightful Select Answers. According to Sapp, there hasn't been a significant response from WWE since the chants, as it is generally understood that McMahon is not returning. He also noted that if Triple H prefers not to participate in post-show press events, he may have to deal with such crowd reactions.
It was reported last week that McMahon has not been backstage in WWE since Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against him, and there has been no indication that anyone has consulted the former WWE Chairman regarding creative ideas. Additionally, McMahon was not mentioned in connection with an appearance at Cena’s last match.
