WWE Rumors: Vince McMahon Reportedly Furious with Byron Saxton

The latest round of WWE rumors deals with Vince McMahon and Byron Saxton, so let's get right to it. As always, these are just rumors, so please treat them as such.

WWE ran an angle on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw in which Brock Lesnar demolished the entire announce team, including an F5 to Michael Cole. As a result, Byron Saxton came out to finish the show. Fans were not receptive, as they felt Byron was uninspired and sounded half asleep at the commentary table. Jerry "The King" Lawler came out later on to join the team.

Infamous Reddit user MetsFan4Ever posted earlier this week that Vince McMahon was reportedly furious with Saxton on Monday.

"I'm being told that last Monday on Raw, Vince McMahon was said to be furious at Byron Saxton and his commentary on Raw. The entire rest of the show was suppose to be just Byron calling the action. Jerry Lawler just so happened to be in the building that night since most of the roster was there from the previous night. At about 9:45 p.m., Vince called Jerry Lawler to Gorilla and told him to go out to the ring and try to breath life into Byron. Despite Jerry trying, nothing changed and Vince remained irate at Saxton.

I'm also being told as soon as Saxton got to the back he was ignored by Vince McMahon. Michael Cole was also backstage after taking the bump from Brock and was in Gorilla trying to coach Saxton through the broadcast but was not successful. No heat however is on Cole as both Vince and Kevin Dunn feel Saxton did not 'grab the brass ring' when he was given a huge opportunity.

Vince and Kevin are very high on Renee Young but at this point in time, they want to stick with her doing backstage interviews. There is serious talk however to bring her to the broadcast position on Raw sooner rather than later."
