-The Battle of the Billionaires (2007): In this match, Donald Trump and Vince McMahon went head-to-head, with each man choosing one wrestler to represent them. If Trump’s wrestler won, McMahon would have had his head shaved, but if McMahon’s wrestler won, Trump would have had to “put up” $1 million. In the end, it was Trump’s wrestler who emerged victorious – and McMahon did indeed get his head shaved!
