This guy can back it up in the ring

Even though he's the boss' son, Shane McMahon has always been on his father's good side. When he swooped in and purchased WCW out from under Vince McMahon, it was a moment that shook the entire pro wrestling world. This carried into the Invasion angle, and although it could have been booked better, the program was still full of moments worth remembering.

Shane is a notoriously hardheaded highflyer and can run with the best of them when put to the test. With the ability to back it up in the ring this gave Shane McMahon, even more, fuel to charge his rage and lust for skirting the status quo.

During Shane's return to WWE years after his departure, he became Commissioner of SmackDown Live and his rebellious attitude didn't seem like it's dwindled much. Although he was in a position of power, his ruthless tactics certainly ruffled the feathers of Stephanie McMahon and Kurt Angle leading into Survivor Series 2017.
