Shane McMahon reportedly got a lot of backstage heat as he was said to have played a direct hand in the “disastrous” booking of the 2022 Men’s Royal Rumble match. He allegedly pushed for himself to be one of the final competitors and didn’t seem to care about anyone else’s input, even going against Vince McMahon. This forced the boss to step in and draw the line, quietly letting his son go.
On the latest episode of The Bro Show, Dr. Chris Featherstone asked Vince Russo about the recent Shane McMahon debacle. Russo, who has experience working with Shane in the Attitude Era, came to the defense of The Prodigal Son and explained that he never faced any issues with him or Vince McMahon backstage:
WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page also chipped in and gave his opinion, stating that he “can’t see” Shane McMahon being the kind of person to cause such chaos backstage.
Will Shane McMahon ever return to WWE?
It seems as though the door will always be open to Shane McMahon returning to WWE, but given how things played out, it might be a while before we see it happening. While a program against Seth Rollins may have been the direction for WrestleMania, that doesn’t appear to be the case anymore.
Shane’s matches were often treated as a marquee WrestleMania bout, with the former SmackDown commissioner facing the likes of The Undertaker, AJ Styles, Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, The Miz, and Braun Strowman in recent years. He lost more often than not and created quite a few memorable moments in that time.
Perhaps time is what will eventually heal the recently-opened wounds and he will be able to have a successful on-screen return to the company again. It’s safe to say that such a backstage disaster is unlikely to occur again.
