Vince McMahon Gets WWE Tag Team Fired

Mansoor and Mace recently stated that former WWE CEO Vince McMahon got them removed from television when he returned to WWE. It was also noted that Vince loved Maximum Male Models before his initial July 2022 exit from WWE. Vince didn’t like the direction they went in after he retired. Vince also benched several stars Triple H had rehired for a time, including Carlito.

 


 

It has been noted that WWE Superstars try to get along backstage, but not everyone can mesh in the same way. It appears that former WWE Superstar Mansoor had a bit of backstage heat on him after the company gave him a big spotlight.

Saudi Arabian superstar recently revealed that he had backstage issues with his co-workers during the 2019 Super Showdown Premium Live Event. The 28-year-old, who joined WWE in 2018, competed in his home country of Saudi Arabia about a year later at the Super Showdown Premium Live Event. He also received the pop of the night in the process.

The former Maximum Male Model member won a 51-man Battle Royal by defeating 50 other Superstars. He got a big push, but only in Saudi Arabia. It was still a huge win for him.

During an interview with Denise Salcedo on Instinct Culture, Mansoor revealed experiencing “major backstage heat” during the event and shared that several of his co-workers were unhappy.

“When you’re on the indies you’re taught whenever you go to a show, shake everybody’s hand, introduce yourself. That’s the right thing to do. So, get this. I go to NXT and I show up at my first NXT show, and I’m shaking everybody’s hands. And who of all people, Mace, pulls me aside and says, ‘We don’t do that here, okay. That’s an indie thing, all right. You don’t have to do that. These are all your co-workers. We get it. I was like, ‘Oh, okay.’”

“So, I end up going to the Saudi show being like, ‘I’m not gonna bother anybody. I’m not gonna shake anybody’s hand. Huge mistake. Huge mistake. Who pulls me aside but my future wrestling dad, Mustafa Ali. He said, ‘Hey brother, I’m looking out for you because you and me, you know, we’re brothers. You got major heat. You got major heat because not only did you not say hi to everybody, you’re winning the damn Battle Royal that everybody got dragged over here for. And you’re not being gracious about it.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, I was freaking out.’ I was like, ‘Oh my God!’”
