Shane O’Mac could possibly be heading to AEW
Shane McMahon has once again set the wrestling world on fire following a secret meeting with AEW President Tony Khan. While Shane-O-Mac has clarified some specifics, fans are left speculating about potential executive swerves with the prodigal son possibly joining WWE’s biggest rival.
As a former SmackDown Tag Team Champion and a pivotal pillar of WWE over the last two decades, Shane-O-Mac’s life and professional career are deeply intertwined with the Stamford-based promotion. From executive duties to on-screen authority roles to in-ring competition, his contributions to WWE are significant.
With the possibility of Shane McMahon heading to AEW, many fans are understandably appalled. On that note, here are three things every wrestling fan should know about Shane-O-Mac’s WWE career.
3. Shane McMahon is a free agent currently
Shane McMahon’s contract status has been a major topic of conversation following his meeting with Tony Khan. The former SmackDown Commissioner is now unsigned with WWE, hence he is a free agent. This implies he may lawfully join AEW or any other promotion without limitation.
According to reports, Shane previously held a talent deal with WWE, but this is no longer the case. It’s also worth noting that Shane-O-Mac was dismissed in early 2022 for allegedly mismanaging and harshly criticizing the Men’s Royal Rumble bout. With no current affiliation with WWE, Shane McMahon is free to pursue new chances, whether with AEW or perhaps signing a new contract with the business his family founded.
2. No Bad Blood with Triple H
Despite his tumultuous relationship with his father, Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon’s relationship with Triple H remains cordial. Vince’s decision to fire Shane in 2022 led to a significant distance between Shane and WWE. However, the environment for a Shane McMahon comeback has changed dramatically with Vince’s departure and Triple H taking over creative control.
Shane’s one-off return at WrestleMania 39 was a clear indication that there is no legitimate heat between him and Triple H. While Shane initially didn’t approve of Stephanie McMahon’s relationship with Hunter, there is no evidence of any real-life animosity between the two. This opens the door for potential future collaborations, whether within WWE or elsewhere.
1. Shane McMahon’s Impact as a Draw on
Shane McMahon has always been known for his controversial image backstage, but there is no denying that he was a legitimate draw for WWE. Known for taking outrageous risks, such as jumping off the top of Hell in a Cell or being German Suplexed through glass, Shane-O-Mac has provided some of the most memorable moments in WWE history.
His Leap of Faith at WrestleMania 32 garnered 12 million views on YouTube, highlighting the interest he generates among fans. Shane’s ability to draw viewers is a testament to his appeal, both as a performer and a businessman. Despite occasional controversies, Shane’s overall impact on WWE has been largely beneficial. His leadership of SmackDown into a new era as an authority figure in 2016 is a prime example of his ability to drive interest and business.
With AEW struggling in 2024, Shane McMahon’s potential move to Tony Khan’s promotion could be a game-changer. His proven track record as an on-screen and behind-the-scenes figure makes him a valuable asset to any wrestling company. Whether Shane-O-Mac can replicate his success in AEW remains to be seen, but his presence alone would certainly shake things up in the wrestling world.
