AEW fans have welcomed many WWE Hall of Famers and former superstars to the roster since the promotion launched in 2019. The All Elite fanbase is now giving mixed feedback to the possibility of a massive name joining the company.
Shane McMahon has been linked to just one pro wrestling company over the years - WWE. The son of Vince McMahon did "purchase" WCW in the storylines years ago, but he has remained loyal to the family business. There's been no real sign of Shane-O-Mac in the new TKO era, but his name went viral this week after Jim Ross fueled speculation on Shane potentially going to All Elite Wrestling.
JR revealed that he's had recent phone calls from McMahon, and said the dynamic between Shane and Tony Khan could be great. The discussion led to a bevy of feedback from fans, positive and negative.

While many fans pitched potential storylines and expressed excitement over the idea of a McMahon in AEW, others disagreed. Some dismissed the notion that Shane would go against the company his family founded. Check out some of the reactions below:
"This does not sound like anything I'd want to see - just leave all McMahon's out of wrestling from now on lol. Relics of the past," one fan wrote.
"To work as an employee? I'm not sure the McMahon namesake is capable," another fan chimed in.
Tony Khan asked about WWE Superstar joining AEW
The wrestling world has been buzzing for weeks over the WWE future of Ricochet. The multi-time champion reportedly gave his notice to officials a few weeks back, and he is expected to sign with AEW, according to sources in both companies.
Tony Khan recently spoke with TV Insider and was asked about potentially signing The Highlight of the Night. As Ricochet is under contract to WWE, the All Elite President was careful with his answer.
"If it’s okay, I’d rather not get into wrestlers that still work for someone else," Tony Khan said.
There had been some speculation on Samantha Irvin possibly leaving WWE to join her fiancé in AEW. However, a recent backstage report seemingly dismissed any rumors about Irvin's departure.
