Following his absence from WWE after WrestleMania 39, Shane McMahon has maintained a relatively low profile. However, rumors have circulated suggesting that he may consider a return to professional wrestling. In fact, McMahon allegedly reached out to AEW talent about a potential move to the company.
Shane McMahon’s future in wrestling remains uncertain, but WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross recently addressed the idea of Shane McMahon joining AEW. Ross didn’t rule out that happening as he stated it might be crazy enough to work.
“Yeah, it would. It’s so crazy that it might work, depending on how it was positioned and how it was introduced. Shane called me the other day, he’s called me two or three times, which I really appreciate. He’s always been sensitive in that respect. That’s only a question that Shane could answer. Shane and Tony Khan being together, how would that work creatively, heck, who knows? Might be great. But in any event, that all depends on Shane and what he wants to do.”
While speaking on Grilling JR, Jim Ross’ co-host Conrad Thompson revealed that he received a text from a friend claiming Shane McMahon had reached out to AEW talents about potentially joining the promotion.
“There was a friend of ours. He went out of his way to text me, ‘Hey, that’s not as crazy as you think. I know for sure that Shane McMahon has reached out to wrestlers on the AEW roster to at least hypothetically discuss the idea.”
As for Shane McMahon, he was recently spotted at New York Yankees game, but there’s no guarantee at all that he will ever make his way to Tony Khan’s company and work there. Nevertheless, anything is possible in the world of professional wrestling, so we’ll have to see what Shane McMahon will do in the end.
