Folks, it’s another wild day in the wrestling world! Grab your popcorn and hold onto your hats, because the McMahon family drama might just be moving to a new ring. Shane McMahon, Vince McMahon’s very own progeny, is rumored to have made some interesting phone calls that could potentially shake the squared circle to its core. Yes, we’re talking about Shane-O-Mac dialing up the talents of AEW. Who would have thought?
According to a recent episode of “Grilling JR,” co-host Conrad Thompson dropped a bombshell that had fans doing double-takes. “A friend of ours,” Thompson began, clearly relishing his role as the bearer of tantalizing tidbits, “texted me to say, ‘That’s not as crazy as you think. I know for sure that Shane McMahon has at least reached out to wrestlers on the AEW roster to at least hypothetically discuss the idea.’” Hypothetically? Sure. But in the wrestling world, “hypothetically” is just code for “buckle up, it’s about to get real!”
Now, before you start dreaming up fantasy bookings, both Thompson and AEW commentator Jim Ross pumped the brakes, clarifying that Shane-O-Mac isn’t exactly packing his bags for AEW just yet. However, the fact that he’s even entertaining the notion is enough to send shockwaves through the industry.
For those who need a refresher, Shane McMahon isn’t just a silver-spooned executive. He started his wrestling journey as a humble referee before stepping into the ring in 1998. And let’s not forget his last stunt at WWE WrestleMania 39, where he tore his quad faster than you can say “Coast to Coast,” leaving Snoop Dogg to save the day. Classic Shane!
Now, imagine the drama, the legacy, the sheer McMahon-ness of it all if Shane were to step foot in AEW territory. It’s the kind of twist that soap operas can only dream of. Sure, the McMahon name is synonymous with WWE, but with Shane, Vince, and Stephanie currently out of the WWE picture, who knows what’s next?
While Stephanie’s hubby, Paul “Triple H” Levesque, is still steering the creative ship over at WWE, Shane possibly dipping his toes into AEW waters is the kind of juicy scandal that wrestling fans live for. So stay tuned, because if Shane-O-Mac really does make the leap, it could be the most electrifying crossover in sports entertainment history!
