Vince McMahon has not been at any RAW and SmackDown tapings over the past two weeks, which is very out of character for the 70 year old WWE head honcho. According to the latest Wrestling Observe Newsletter, he’s not expected back until next weekend’s SummerSlam PPV (8/21). Vince missing multiple TV tapings is news, but it’s especially noteworthy that he’ll also be missing the final week of television before one of WWE’s biggest shows of the year.

The Observer notes that Vince has still been in communication with his key people and called in to participate during recent production meetings. Despite not being present at the shows, Vince has continued to micro-manage virtually every detail of RAW and SmackDown throughout the day before the shows shoot.

No word yet on why Vince has been absent, but we covered back in June that he also missed the 6/20 and 6/21 tapings.
