WWE continues to soar to new heights after the success of Bash in Berlin.
The first Premium Live Event in Germany has officially been declared the highest-grossing arena event in WWE history.
This along with other successful international events like Clash at the Castle and Backlash in Puerto Rico have proven that WWE is doing better than ever before.
However, despite moving forward into the Triple H era, the shadow of Vince McMahon still hangs over the company.

In the post-show press conference for Bash in Berlin, Rhodes answered questions about his future opponents, performing in Europe, and his current title reign.
Soon, the tone shifted when a reporter asked about the upcoming Netflix docuseries about Vince McMahon and his professional wrestling career, including the sexual misconduct and sex trafficking allegations from former WWE employee Janel Grant.
More specifically, the reporter wanted to know why the locker room had been so silent about the allegations.
“In terms of, am I going to watch it? Not to sound cheeky by any means. I am deep in a Game of Thrones re-watch. That is a hell of a commitment,” Rhodes said. “I think there is a bit of misinformation in terms of WWE has no involvement in this documentary, as far as I know. I would imagine I would get around to seeing it.”
“In terms of the more serious and the meat of your question, the locker room being quiet or silent. I don’t think that’s a matter of belief versus non-belief. I think, strictly speaking, we want to be doing what we were doing out there. The focus and attention that it takes to have a great story and have a great match, and do that every single night, has left most of us to where we’re finding the information out just as you are.”

“That includes the resolution of this information. In terms of what happened, how it happened, and how justice comes about. Whatever it might be. I wouldn’t look at it as an active attempt from the locker room to be silent. We are just doing what we do day-to-day WWE business.”
When asked about his opinion on Grant’s allegations, Rhodes was short and to the point.
“I don’t know enough about the information to give a good enough answer. I’m sorry.”
The Netflix series, called “Mr. McMahon,” reportedly doesn’t have any involvement from WWE or Janel Grant and her representatives.
