The chants were met with negative reactions from social media users on Twitter\/X. Here were some of the comments that received hundreds of likes\u2026<\/p>\n
@sistertonin: \u201cYou can literally have r*pe and sexual abuse allegations spanning back DECADES and CURRENTLY be involved in a S*X TRAFFICKING lawsuit and still have a bunch of dipsh*t men and your equally evil ass daughter in a room cheering for you and praising you. #thereisnohope\u201d<\/p>\n
@shiniestphenex: \u201cWWE fans deserve the sh*t product that they\u2019re fed on a weekly basis.\u201d<\/p>\n
@itsmekelsey_x: \u201cThe HOF should stop letting fans attend and just keep it for all the talent & their families. Them chanting for Vince and popping for him was disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n
@JaimsVanDerBeek: \u201cIt\u2019s really sad that so many fans value professional wrestling over respecting women.\u201d<\/p>\n
@nmatthewsninja: \u201cWow, eat shit you f*cking clowns. Holy f*ck.\u201d<\/p>\n
@IANdrewDiceClay: \u201cNever underestimate the brain power of a bunch of people who have crippled themselves financially to watch TKO\u2019s interpretation of professional wrestling in 2026. Thick as f*cking mince.\u201d<\/p>\n
@kennymc1ntosh: \u201cI am totally fine with a Vince mention because of who he is but a \u2018Thank You Vince\u2019 chant is so gross.\u201d<\/p>\n
