Shane McMahon Set To Work With WWE Again
Shane McMahon is one of WWE's oldest employees.
Even though he is no longer an active performer like he used to be, over the years he has been involved in various storylines. Many of those storylines saw him feud with some of WWE's best wrestlers. He usually entered each feud as an authority figure and usually used his powers backstage to make life difficult for on-screen characters.
His last noteworthy feud was with Kevin Owens. In the last year, McMahon had made sporadic appearances in the WWE and this added to speculations about his future in the company. One of the most important roles that he has taken over the past few years was being General Manager of Smackdown.
Before that, Shane had to fight The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell, which saw him jump from the top of the Cell onto the announcer's table. That match even took place at WrestleMania. Shane has been off-screen for quite some time and his new role will probably not change this.
He will mostly work backstage and come up with new ideas which will be good for the brand moving forward. The following is the press released that was released by the WWE: Shane McMahon Appointed Executive Chairman of Ideanomics.
