It was obvious that Titus didn’t mean anything by it and Vince McMahon took it way too seriously. Titus shouldn’t be suspended at all, it was just a misunderstanding, but Vince is being hard-headed about it.
Pro Wrestling Sheet has the exclusive on Titus’s explanation.
Multiple sources tell us O’Neil spoke with management following the grab on Vince McMahon‘s arm and explained he was only trying to allow Stephanie McMahon to exit the stage first.
Steph and Vince initially appear to be walking side-by-side in the video of the incident … so his explanation tracks. Plus, it appeared to be playful, as everyone pointed out from the start.
We’re told Titus claimed he was only saying “ladies first” when he tugged on Vince — with the strict intention of being polite — but understood the misunderstanding may have been perceived differently by others once it was all said and done.
Initially Titus was suspended for 90 days, but that has now been cut to 60 days and hopefully eventually it will just be removed completely.
It is Black History Month for goodness sakes.
