In a short but clear interview with TMZ Sports, Shane McMahon addressed circulating rumors about the next steps for him and his father, Vince McMahon, in the wrestling industry. The former WWE executive clarified that the speculation about the father-son duo launching a new wrestling promotion is not true.
Shane stated, “Of course, we don’t know what the future holds and it might involve WWE, but these rumors are incorrect.”
While dismissing the talk about a new promotion, Shane confirmed he has had discussions with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). “We have a meeting with AEW and hope they continue to thrive,” he said. “However, AEW is not WWE, it’s not the company I helped build. Still, anything can happen in this business.”
Regarding Vince McMahon, Shane shared some unusual updates about his father’s mindset and future plans after stepping down from WWE and TKO in early 2024. “He’s doing really well and enjoying life,” Shane noted.
Although Vince is no longer involved in WWE’s daily management, Shane emphasized that Vince remains an important figure in TKO. “He continues to play a significant role there. I’m not trying to be vague, just saying something will happen.”
Fan Take: This update is significant for WWE fans because it dispels rumors while hinting at potential collaboration or influence between WWE veterans and AEW, which could shake up the wrestling scene. Vince McMahon’s continued involvement in TKO suggests that his impact on the business remains, possibly paving the way for new developments in the sport’s future.
