Recently, in an interview with Sports Illustrated, AEW President Tony Khan discussed the rumors surrounding the potential arrival of former WWE star Shane McMahon to All Elite Wrestling. While Khan admitted to not having had direct contact with McMahon, he conveyed his admiration for Shane’s work as both an executive and professional wrestler, making it clear that Shane would be warmly welcomed in AEW.
Reports suggesting that McMahon had been in touch with talent at AEW were disproved by sources connected to the organization. Shane McMahon’s most recent wrestling appearance took place at WWE WrestleMania 39 in 2023, where he had to exit the match prematurely due to a torn quad muscle. Following this incident, McMahon has maintained a low profile, focusing on recovering from his injuries and potentially distancing himself from the legal matters involving his father Vince McMahon and former WWE colleague Janel Grant.
