During a show-opening war of words between Stephanie McMahon and Roman Reigns that addressed Reigns attack of Triple H at last night's TLC pay-per-view (PPV), Steph revealed that her father, Chairman of the Board Vincent Kennedy McMahon, would return to Raw for the first time in over a year to deal with Reigns.
Vince arrived in a limo during a R-Truth vs. Bo Dallas match that was immediately cut away from. He sent his daughter back to Connecticut to be with her recovering husband, and McMahon strutted to the ring. He sent Dallas and Truth to the back, and took a chair as he made Roman sweat a little bit longer.
After a commercial, the two men stood toe-to-toe in the ring.
McMahon demanded an apology...demanded Reigns beg for forgiveness. Roman would not, and the 70 year old was taking of his jacket to teach the young whippersnapper a lesson. But Sheamus interrupted and insisted he should be the one to beat The Big Dog into saying sorry to the McMahons for the insults he hurled at them in the open.
The Celtic Warrior was even willing to put his title on the line, but Vince said no chance to that. Some more taunts from Reigns lead to kick in the family jewels from the Chairman and a championship match on Raw...with a catch.

If Roman Reigns doesn't win the title tonight, he's FIRED.
Have we seen the last of Vince K. McMahon in Philadelphia tonight?
Stay tuned.
