Vince McMahon allegedly once said “f*ck em” in response to fans being unhappy about a Wrestlemania match
Former WWE writer Dave Schilling was re-watching WrestleMania 35 and tweeted his thoughts on the show. Schilling brought up Kurt Angle vs. Baron Corbin and wrote “when it was mentioned in a production meeting that the fans hated the idea of this match, Vince laughed so hard and said ‘f*ck em.'”
Oh no it’s Kurt Angle Vs Baron Corbin. When it was mentioned in a production meeting that the fans hated the idea of this match, Vince laughed so hard and said “fuck em.”

Schilling also noted that the Smackdown women’s title was supposed to be won by Mandy Rose at Wrestlemania 35. WWE ended up going with RAW women’s champion Ronda Rousey vs. Smackdown women’s champion Charlotte Flair vs. Becky Lynch in a winner takes all match. Schilling wrote, “‘Becky Two Belts’ was an adlib. The word ‘belt’ was not allowed then, so I assumed Becky would get in trouble. Instead, they sold t-shirts.”

At no point did Nia Jax figure into this title match. Nor did I ever see her again after this night. Hope she’s doing well. pic.twitter.com/5USDUEZaQu
