Summary

Tommy Dreamer said on Busted Open Radio that a Vince McMahon appearance during WrestleMania 42 would likely draw a massive audience reaction, especially if it affected the reported Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton direction.

Dreamer framed the reaction as situational, saying fans could cheer if McMahon helped Orton, but potentially boo if he backed Rhodes because some fans want a change at the top. That speculation lands as WWE continues adding layers to the WrestleMania 42 build, including Stephanie McMahon confronting Cody Rhodes on Raw.

Quote from Tommy Dreamer

"If Vince McMahon returned at WrestleMania, if Vince McMahon returned to the WWE, what would his reception be? I think if he returns at WrestleMania, he will get an insane reaction. And if he helps Randy win, the place will cheer."

Dreamer later went on to say:

"If he helps Cody win— and please remember, Cody was Vince McMahon’s hand picked person when Cody returned to the WWE when he fought Seth Rollins. And I think they’ll boo him, but I also don’t think it’ll be a boos of heat. I think they’re just gonna boo because fans want to see a change right now at the top with Cody. I think Randy going over with the RKO will be one of the biggest pops in WWE history, but I do think the WWE Universe will go nuts if Vince McMahon walks that aisle one more time, especially at WrestleMania."

Vince McMahon speculation adds another layer to Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton

If Vince McMahon were inserted into Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42, the immediate consequence would be a sharper crowd split around the finish, exactly the dynamic Dreamer described in his comments.

It also reinforces how much fan sentiment around Rhodes and Orton is shaping the conversation before WrestleMania 42, with any high-profile cameo potentially becoming as talked about as the match result itself.
