The element of surprise is obviously something the WWE uses early and often when it comes to their storylines. Just last month, they shocked most pro wrestling fans by bringing Shane McMahon back into the mix after a six-year hiatus. But it’s not as easy as it used to be to keep a surprise like Shane McMahon’s return a secret.

During an interview with the Orlando Sentinel yesterday, Vince McMahon revealed that it has gotten difficult for the WWE to keep secrets. There are so many pro wrestling websites and social media accounts out there constantly looking for scoops on big storylines, and they often end up ruining surprises for WWE fans. McMahon said that he dislikes the sites that do that, and he also said that, when it comes to events like Shane McMahon’s return, he takes extra precautions to keep them a secret.

Here's McMahon’s full response to a question about how he’s been able to keep the element of surprise intact in the WWE in 2016:

Q: But how difficult is that in this age because of the Internet and social media? Information is flowing around in so many different ways and yet when Shane came back, that was a big surprise.

With WrestleMania 32 right around the corner, it’ll be interesting to see what other surprises Vince McMahon has up his sleeves. You can read his entire Q&A with the Orlando Sentinelhere.
