One live report sent into PWInsider stated that some WWE fans caught Vince McMahon leaving in another limo after the show came to a close last night.

It should also be noted that many within WWE had no idea about the big finale to last night's big WWE Draft show. It was said to be just as much of a surprise to the wrestlers backstage as it was for the fans in attendance and watching at home.

WWE issued a press release today addressing the angle, still playing up the storyline of course, but also referencing "The Sopranos" - something many wrestling fans instantly thought of when the angle went down:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BLOWN AWAY

Who Blew Up WWE® Chairman Mr. McMahon?

STAMFORD, Conn., June 12, 2007 – While some might say “The Sopranos" went out with a whimper, last night on USA Network, WWE’s “Monday Night RAW®" went out with a bang. At the end of his self-anointed “Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night," WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon entered his limousine when it suddenly exploded. The shocking ending raised a myriad of questions: How could Mr. McMahon have survived the fiery explosion? And who could’ve committed such a heinous act?

Although full details have not been disclosed, initial reports indicate that Mr. McMahon is presumed dead. An official investigation into Monday night’s events is currently underway with no one being ruled out as a suspect. Throughout the night, people from Mr. McMahon’s past - from Donald Trump to Snoop Dogg to Bob Costas to Stone Cold Steve Austin™ - had less than flattering things to say about the WWE Chairman, but would any go so far as to actually blow him up? The question of “whodunit," as well as the fate of Mr. McMahon, will be on everyone’s minds as the WWE saga continues on “Monday Night RAW" on USA (9 p.m. ET/8C).
