Reigning AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and his faction are currently causing chaos on Dynamite and Collision. Meanwhile, a Death Riders member may have teased the arrival of a WWE veteran on social media. Marina Shafir has been one of the crucial members of the faction.
The star she teased is none other than Shane McMahon. The 54-year-old is a one-time European Champion, a one-time Hardcore Champion, and a one-time SmackDown Tag Team Champion. The Prodigal Son has been rumored to sign with AEW for many months. The rumors started after a picture from his private meeting with AEW President Tony Khan went viral on social media. Later, Shane was also spotted with The Young Bucks and Mercedes Mone.
Fans were confident McMahon would debut in the Jacksonville-based promotion after Jon Moxley turned heel a few months ago. However, that wasn't the case, and the rumors of Shane becoming All Elite are currently at rest.
However, Marina Shafir recently posted a picture on her Instagram and captioned it ''Land of Opportunity!'' The caption resembles the infamous slogan of SmackDown when Shane was its commissioner from 2016 to 2018. Therefore, she could have subtly teased Shane McMahon's appearance on AEW TV in the post.

That said, this is speculative at this point.
Jim Cornette doesn't believe Shane McMahon is controlling Jon Moxley
A couple of weeks ago, fans believed that AEW World Champion Jon Moxley was a pawn of Shane McMahon, as The Purveyor of Violence delivered another cryptic promo.
While speaking on The Experience podcast, veteran Jim Cornette stated that there was no ''higher power'' above Moxley.
"What landmark event does it take now to get to Shane [McMahon] showing himself? If this wasn't the place to reveal him if he had anything to do with it. I don't think that there's a higher power. I don't think that [Jon] Moxley is gonna be subservient to anybody in his own fantasy angle here," he said.
It will be interesting to see if Shane O'Mac shows up on AEW TV in the future.
