The name of Shane McMahon has been trending all over the place after a recent photo of Shane with Tony Khan surfaced on the internet. There has already been a lot of speculation for months about Shane joining All Elite Wrestling. This photo seemingly increases the chances of him joining forces with Tony Khan. However, there is a realistic possibility that McMahon might be using Tony as a pawn, with a different intention altogether.
This assumption arises from a recent report by WrestleVotes. Here, the source stated that Shane McMahon is as smart as they come and these preliminary meetings don’t surprise anyone. This indicates that things might not be as simple as they appear, and the 54-year-old star could be using Tony Khan as a pawn to get a better deal from WWE.

Additionally, there is a possibility that McMahon could be using this angle to generate buzz on the internet around his name. This also sends feelers to WWE, indicating interest from another side and generating fan buzz. It also suggests he could go there and gain attention, or stay and work part-time like before.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
Overall, only time will tell how things will unfold in the coming weeks and whether there will be any outcome from this private meeting between Shane McMahon and Tony Khan. However, if Shane's goal was to generate buzz on the internet, he has certainly succeeded, as he is also trending on Twitter/X after the photo surfaced.
What if Shane McMahon returns to WWE after his sighting with Tony Khan
If Shane McMahon decides to return to WWE and secures a deal from Triple H after meeting with Tony Khan, fans could see him in the squared circle again. The last time Shane wrestled was at the Royal Rumble 2022, where he fell short and was eliminated after making a cameo appearance.
Before this, the 54-year-old star engaged in high-profile feuds in the Stamford-based promotion, including rivalries with Braun Strowman, Kevin Owens, Roman Reigns, and more. If Shane returns to WWE this time, he has the opportunity to feud with CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Solo Sikoa, and others.
Additionally, an authority role would surely suit him well. He could work as the third authority figure, overseeing the RAW and SmackDown General Managers. This trio of Shane, Adam Pearce, and Nick Aldis would help keep things fresh in the landscape of WWE.
Shane McMahon returning to WWE after this leak will surely shock fans, as they would expect a move to AEW after a meeting with Tony Khan.
