WWE reportedly planned Seth Rollins to feud with returned Shane McMahon on the road to WrestleMania 38, per a new report that came out after WWE Monday Night Raw.
Shane McMahon made his big return to WWE during the 2022 Royal Rumble match. He had quite an impressive showing in the match and also among the final four men in the ring. It was recently reported that Shane-O-Mac was originally going to be one of the entrants in the upcoming WWE Championship Elimination Chamber match.

On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer reported that Shane McMahon would have started a feud with The Visionary Seth Rollins inside the Elimination Chamber, which would have led a match between them at WrestleMania 38.
“Shane McMahon was going to be in the Chamber and set up a feud with Seth Rollins for WrestleMania,” said Meltzer. “I don’t know if that was going to be the (WWE) Championship match, but it’s obviously – whether it is or it isn’t – that was changed, so I don’t know how that relates to Shane McMahon at WrestleMania, but this was supposed to be the step to that.” [H/T: GiveMeSport].
