Rumors about Shane McMahon potentially joining AEW have been circulating, largely fueled by comments from Jim Ross and Conrad Thompson on their podcast. However, AEW's CEO Tony Khan has stated he has never met or spoken to Shane, casting doubt on the speculation. Dave Meltzer reported that while McMahon did speak to an ex-WWE star in AEW, it was more of a casual conversation rather than serious negotiations. Jim Ross has mentioned that although a Shane McMahon move to AEW seems unlikely, it isn't entirely impossible. Fans are divided, with some seeing it as a potential game-changer and others remaining skeptical. Shane's last WWE appearance was at WrestleMania 39, where he sustained an injury, and his future in wrestling remains uncertain.
