In an unprecedented move, the professional wrestling landscape is witnessing a paradigm shift as WWE and UFC formalize their merger. However, overshadowing this historic event is Vince McMahon's strategic return to the limelight on what has been described as his "final night of complete control" of WWE.

The veteran wrestling magnate made waves as he initiated multiple significant changes to "WWE Raw," reveals trusted wrestling analyst Dave Meltzer of the "Wrestling Observer Radio." The backdrop to this is even more intriguing considering McMahon has recently been sidelined from WWE's creative process as he recuperates from back surgery.

Nonetheless, despite his physical absence, his influence permeated last night's proceedings. Unforeseen by many, these shifts explain the lack of advance advertising—indicative of a company in the throes of rapid transition.

McMahon's colleague and long-time wrestling stalwart, Triple H, wasn't left behind in introducing last-minute changes either, adding another layer to the narrative of an evolving WWE.

Insiders believe McMahon's alterations, while numerous, bode well for the brand.

While McMahon remained conspicuously absent from the physical venue, technology bridged the gap, allowing him to steer the production from a distance. Speculation is rife about whether this remote involvement will set a precedent for future shows.

Despite the seismic shifts in WWE's operational helm, one thing remains crystal clear—McMahon's influence remains undiminished. The wrestling sphere, amidst the corporate upheavals, still resonates as McMahon's dominion.

Future creative directions and broader corporate decisions seem to be converging back under his purview. Corroborating this narrative, Fightful Select echoed similar insights. In a testament to the fluidity of the night, Jey Uso unexpectedly took center stage, sidelining Cody Rhodes.

Additionally, adjustments were evident as some "WWE Main Event" bouts faced rescheduling or cancellation. The intersection of Meltzer's and Fightful Select's reports, however, still leaves room for interpretation, keeping fans and analysts on their toes.
