Keller continued, “If you’ve been listening carefully to me in the last month or two, you would have gotten the impression there was little chance Shane would have been at the Royal Rumble this weekend, or in WWE’s plans. “Things were not good, according to what I heard.” “Things really unraveled with him and his dad on Saturday,” Keller said. Wade Keller of PW Torch has provided details of exactly what happened between Shane and Vince McMahon: Ringside News – which has had several backstage reports recently confirmed by the likes of Fightful and Meltzer – is reporting that Shane McMahon has been ‘quietly let go’ from the company and Vince had used the term ‘let go’ himself.Ī tenured member of the WWE creative team told Ringside News that the writers were told in a ‘semi-quiet way’ that there will be no more creative discussions about Shane McMahon, and they have now moved on to other creative discussions. Shane McMahon was supposed to be part of the upcoming Elimination Chamber match, which was first reported by Ringside News.īobby Lashley will defend the WWE Championship in this match in Saudi Arabia later this month and the premise for Shane’s involvement was to set up a storyline between him and Seth Rollins that would lead to WrestleMania 38.Įven more perplexing, McMahon was supposed to battle Rollins over the WWE Championship. Add to that McMahon’s prominence in the match and it’s not a good cocktail. A lot of ideas were changed throughout the day and left many performers not knowing what they were doing or who they were eliminating as their number was called.ĭave Meltzer said he has received a lot of off-handed remarks about Shane since the Rumble and Fightful also reported that talents were frustrated with how poorly organised the whole match was. The 52 year old reportedly had a lot of heat on backstage following the Rumble.
It turns out Shane might be largely to blame. McMahon has been known to help write the Rumbles over the past few years and he was influential alongside Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar in creating the acclaimed 2020 Rumble, but this year’s edition was widely criticised by fans. Shane McMahon’s return was recieved well by the crowd, but how he planned the Rumble was not appreciated backstage
