Shane McMahon has been pulled from WWE creative plans for WrestleMania season. RingsideNews.com reports that McMahon was previously scheduled to wrestle at the Elimination Chamber event and WrestleMania. Barring a change in plans, McMahon will not return for those events. The belief is that the change was spawned by Shane’s poorly received work as a producer of the men’s Royal Rumble match.
Powell’s POV: It’s an interesting story because of Shane’s last name, but his lack of involvement is not going to have any real effect on the company’s day-to-day business. Shane doesn’t hold an executive title in WWE. He has also worked as a producer of past Royal Rumble matches in addition to appearing as an on-air talent.
Shane McMahon is All Elite
WWE actually listened to fans? Mark. The. Calendar.
He was only going to “get away” with doing what he was doing for so long. People have had enough of his blatant abuses of power and using his influence to take spots away from more deserving people to showcase himself and put himself over. I’m still surprised that he wasn’t the one who retired Ric Flair and ended Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak. I’m sure if he could have he would have.
