For those thinking Vince would've handled this better than Tony, that's not an apples-to-apples comparison.
Vince wouldn't have run the post-match scrum--which is probably a credit to him in this instance. They're pointless anyway because all they do is break kayfabe. However, Vince on TV outside of a WWE context (and not on a late-night talk show where he used to do okay) is a dumpster fire. The Bob Costas interview is a fucking disaster and I can't remember the other one where he came across as a psychopath, but he's bad. Those appearances were probably why he never appeared outside of anything WWE produced for the past could of decades.
Also, he wouldn't have suspended anyone if he could've gotten away with it. If the network execs wanted it to happen, then maybe. But he wasn't some grand disciplinarian. Sure, he's a bully--but not someone who'd suspend his main stars. Maybe if it were a couple of underneath guys he'd have fired them.
In fairness--I'd prefer if nobody got suspended because this is pro wrestling and backstage fights happen. Could've slapped'm with fines and made them work it out.
