Latest On Shane McMahon

McMahon attempted to return to WWE programming after WrestleMania 39, Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio. It was said that people in charge of WWE \”have no interest in him,\” and there\’s still \”a lot of negativity\” surrounding McMahon in WWE. Shane was infamously let go after reportedly creating chaos backstage at the 2022 Royal Rumble PLE.

Meltzer argued that this opposition to Shane within WWE could change if they believe he\’s joining AEW. Meltzer added that it would not be a surprise if his meeting with Khan was a \”leverage\” play on McMahon\’s behalf to make a WWE return happen. Tony Khan has spoken publicly on his respect for Shane as both a performer and an executive as there\’s clearly a lot of respect between the two.
