It was recently claimed that Tony and Shane didn't come to any agreement regarding some of McMahon's big demands, and Tony also ghosted Shane.

"The fact that Shane was at the Superbowl with his dad, it's like he can't figure out what he wants to do. But if that is the case, A - I would've thought that the struggles they were in and all this kind of stuff that bringing in Shane would've been cool, but it also spoke to me of why Vince never let Shane run anymore than what he did when they were in the WWE. But if Shane is asking for that, he'll never come back in any capacity in any wrestling company." [From 18:41 - 19:07]
