Now, it was being reported that Shane McMahon has been “quietly let go” by his father Vince McMahon’s promotion because of his actions.
“Vince had no choice. Shane created chaos, had everyone in an uproar, pissed off everyone in the Rumble, openly buried other producers, and was changing things that Vince wanted. Vince had no other choice but to send him home.” revealed RSN.
It also further been reported that the writers have been told quietly that there will be no more creative discussions for the Shane McMahon going forward. So, it seems that all plan for the former SmackDown Tag Team Champion has been scrapped and the writers will be moving in a different direction.
There is a lot going on with Shane McMahon. He is now off RAW, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania.
A tenured source within the company told us that Vince McMahon is also “quietly using the term ‘let go'” to describe the situation… Shane McMahon has been “let go.”
