5 things that could happen if Shane McMahon comes to AEW

#2. Shane McMahon is utilized in a backstage role in AEW

AEW officials might be wary of welcoming Shane McMahon to the company given the apparent backstage problems that were present in WWE. But it doesn't seem to be in line with his character previously.

On the latest episode of The Bro Show, Vince Russo, who has experience working with Shane in the Attitude Era, assured that he never faced any issues with him during his time there:

"I was in a position as the head writer. I worked with a lot of people in management that were on TV. And bro, a couple of people really made it all about them. They were very overbearing, constantly talking about what they were doing, not caring about the rest of the roster. I got to tell you, both Vince [McMahon] and Shane [McMahon] never made it about them. We would write the show and say 'Shane, this is what I need you to do', 'Vince, this is what I need you to do'. You would tell them one time, and that would be it. So when people are talking about Shane and his ego, that's not the Shane I knew, I can tell you that based on experience," said Russo.

Before the recent drama, Shane's reputation seemed to be someone who is well-liked by wrestlers and officials alike. He could be an asset to Tony Khan in a corporate sense if given the right role.

His vast experience and business acumen could help AEW grow in the future. Essentially, he can carry out Triple H's role as an EVP and help scout talent or run programming for Dynamite/Rampage. The possibilities are endless.

#1. Tony Khan gives part-ownership of AEW to Shane McMahon

While this seems least likely, it is a possibility worth exploring. The Khan family are the sole owners of AEW, with Tony running the day-to-day operations and his billionaire father Shahid funding the entire operation.

While Tony is the undisputed owner of the promotion, there might come a time where he might want to relinquish some of his control or delegate his numerous responsibilities as the company grows. He might even want to consider giving minority ownership to someone like Shane as a way to combine their considerable resources.

Shane was always looked upon as the most forward-thinking of the McMahons, so perhaps this could be his way of supporting a more progressive wrestling company. It could also be his way of stepping out of the huge shadow of his father and prove he could help run a pro wrestling company.
