Tony Khan Addresses Shane McMahon Potentially Joining AEW

Following his absence from WWE after WrestleMania 39, Shane McMahon has maintained a low profile in the wrestling world. However, recent rumors have sparked speculation that he might be considering a debut in AEW. In light of these rumors, Tony Khan has now addressed the situation.

While speaking on Grilling JR, Jim Ross’ co-host Conrad Thompson revealed that he received 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.”

It was then reported that there was no truth to Shane McMahon speaking to talent about joining AEW and even Tony Khan himself made it clear he had never met or even spoken to Shane McMahon.

While speaking to Sports Illustrated, the AEW President was asked about the rumors of Shane McMahon joining AEW. Khan reiterated that he has never met McMahon but made it clear that Shane McMahon is welcome to join AEW.

“I heard the rumor he might be interested. I’ve never met Shane, but we have a lot of mutual friends. I have a lot of respect for him as an executive and a professional wrestler. Shane is always welcome in AEW.”

At this point, it appears highly unlikely that Shane McMahon will ever make his way to AEW, but as Tony Khan has clearly left the door open for a potential debut, anything can happen.
