The recent sighting of Shane McMahon and Tony Khan has been the talk of the town among fans, who are exhilarated to see what will unfold next. If Shane somehow arrives in AEW, it will surely be a landscape-changing moment in professional wrestling. Amid this excitement, one of the major questions arises: is Shane McMahon still part of WWE, and what is the contract status of the 54-year-old star?
According to the latest reports, WWE and Shane are no longer under any type of contract. Previously, Shane had a talent contract with the Stamford-based promotion, but now there is no such contract. Additionally, it was disclosed that although McMahon was part of WWE 2K24, that contract was distinct and completely different.
If these reports are authentic, it means Shane McMahon does not have any linkage with World Wrestling Entertainment, allowing him to go wherever he wants. This includes the possibility of joining All Elite Wrestling.

However, it is important to note that Shane is still listed among the current superstars on the official WWE website. Normally, if a superstar holds no ties with WWE, they are usually moved to the Alumni section of the site, which is not the case with Shane McMahon.
It seems like we will have to wait a bit longer to see if Shane debuts in AEW or returns to WWE after all this buzz on the internet.
What if Shane McMahon goes to AEW?
The conversation about Shane McMahon is going around all over the internet as fans are curious to see what will happen next. Things will surely explode if the 54-year-old star joins hands with Tony Khan and makes his debut in All Elite Wrestling.
If this scenario materializes, Shane's AEW debut could generate huge numbers on social media platforms. To maintain the buzz around Shane's debut, Tony Khan could also announce the date for his in-ring debut. This would help AEW keep Shane as the talk of the town among fans even after his debut.
Fans could also witness Shane competing in high-profile feuds, such as a rivalry with MJF, Jack Perry, or Swerve Strickland.
The last time McMahon officially tussled in the squared circle was at the Royal Rumble 2022, where he participated in the Men's traditional Rumble match but got eliminated. Later, he was part of WrestleMania 39, where he clashed with The Miz but unfortunately suffered an injury just a few seconds into the match, resulting in him being replaced by Snoop Dogg.
Now let's see whether it will be WWE or AEW where McMahon will compete in his next match.
