WWE superstar Titus O’Neil was apparently suspended 90-days for grabbing Vince McMahon’s arm as the Chairman was exiting up the ramp after the Daniel Bryan retirement announcement according to PWInsider.com.
O’Neil was reportedly sent home immediately upon arriving at the Smackdown tapings in Portland, Oregon Tuesday citing ‘unprofessional conduct’. Albeit described as a ‘playful’ grab by O’Neil, it was vastly considered the wrong time given the Danielson retirement.
Below is some footage of the incident which captures a visibly angered McMahon shoving O’Neil away.

O’Neil hasn’t had any previous backstage problems in the WWE prior and was even praised by the organization last year for his extensive community service work. However it never seems like a good idea to cross Vince McMahon and I can only assume that the former tag team champion as one half of the Prime Time players will be buried beyond mid card status if and when he ever returns to the WWE.
