Following the shocking turn of events that unfolded around former TKO executive chairman, Vince McMahon, WWE hasn't given air to a single word on McMahon.

The shout-out to Vince came during the segment between CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins.
CM Punk indirectly makes a Vince McMahon reference
During the war of words between the trio, Punk lambasted McIntyre by questioning him, who anointed him as the "chosen one" back in the day. This segment induced excitement in the Chicago crowd. According to an update from PW Insider, the entire segment was pretty much improvised, and the major idea was to promote Punk as the guest commentator for the Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre WrestleMania XL match-up.
The reference to McMahon was met with a hush backstage, but once the moment had passed no reaction or fallout emanated from the episode. While it was not a direct reference to Vince, alarms might have rung in the ears of CM Punk fans, who saw what happened to their messiah at AEW.
