Vince McMahon Celebrates 80th Birthday with WWE Stars in Private New York Event

Vince McMahon celebrated his 80th birthday with a private party in New York City attended by several current and former WWE superstars, including John Cena, The Undertaker, JBL, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, The Miz, Titus O’Neil, Maryse, Bruce Prichard, Jerry Lawler, Kane, and others. The event was intended to be low-key and private, with attendees encouraged to use a professional photographer, and photos of the gathering were removed from social media at McMahon's request. Reactions within WWE were mixed; some wrestlers felt a sense of obligation or respect toward McMahon, while others declined the invitation due to ongoing legal issues related to a civil lawsuit alleging sex trafficking and harassment against McMahon. Notably absent were WWE President Nick Khan, Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and Stephanie McMahon, who were reportedly overseas on tour during the celebration. Despite the attendance of many talents, there have been no discussions or indications of Vince McMahon returning to WWE in any official capacity. McMahon appeared frailer and slower than in previous years, signaling the effects of age at the event.
