Shane McMahon reaches out to AEW?
Jim Ross got wrestling fans fantasy booking something that had likely never crossed their minds before due to how implausible it seems – Shane McMahon in AEW. JR noted that Shane O’Mac becoming All Elite might not be as crazy a notion as it seems, and now there has been a follow-up, suggesting this might be more than just something that was posited on a podcast.
Conrad Thompson revealed on “Grilling JR” earlier this week, that he received a text message from a friend who claims that Shane McMahon has reached out to AEW talent about hypothetically joining the company.
Thompson said:
“There was a friend of ours. He went out of his way to text me, ‘Hey, that’s not as crazy as you think it is. I know for sure that Shane McMahon has reached out to some wrestlers on the AEW roster, to at least, hypothetically, discuss the idea (of joining them)”
Thompson naturally didn’t go as far as to say who it was that reached out, nor did he reveal who exactly it is McMahon has been messaging at All Elite Wrestling.
But why? Shane can’t bring anything positive to the product. It was pointless in wwe to have him come back and will be even more pointless in AEW.

Shane doesn’t want his last match to be the one at WrestleMania 39 and since WWE isn’t gonna let him wrestle again, he may as well go the AEW. Would/should Tony hire him? Yes/yes. Just to have bragging rights that he hired a McMahon.
@VanillaGorilla
If done right, he’d pop perhaps the biggest rating in AEW history. He also knows more about the business than anyone there. Just don’t let him wrestle.

There’s the problem. Shane wrestles his last match, so Shane has to jump off of the highest place even, like a crane or a giraffe or a space station. And Tony lets him, because… You know, stupid.
So Shane kills himself and Tony has to take care of his family. You know what that would lead to in a few years? New AEW champion: Declan Khan!
The entire McMahon family needs to just go away at this point. Only thing Shane can bring is if they need someone to throw off the 12th floor of a building. Because that’s the only real thing Shane ever brought to wrestling in the first place, willingness to down long falls.
@Luke
And the problem is?
BTW, you just gave Shane an idea: jumping off a giraffe that’s ON a crane that’s ON a space station.
@art123guy
The problem is Declan Khan. You really think the kid will be able to put on 7-star bangers after a life like that? He’s gonna have a father who’s never had sex and who has no clue that this isn’t the natural way to have kids, that’s gonna scar him for life. You might as well put the belt on George Gulas.
A propos (yes, kids, this actually is the correct way to both spell and use it) 7-star bangers, Shane could land in the Tokyo Dome. Dead or alive, that could even earn him that elusive 7 and a quarter stars. I don’t know if a death in the ring takes away stars or gives you extra, but I’m sure we’ll find out regardless of Shane soon enough. Also, I don’t know how it’d be counted if he misses the ring and lands on Excalibur. I’d definitely give him at least six or seven quarters of stars for that alone (I could be persuaded to go as high as eight-ninths of two stars), but I don’t make the rules.
I hope the giraffe bites Shane’s balls off if he tries anything funny.
The Young Bucks could bring Shane McMahon in as a financial backer in order to take control of AEW from Tony Khan.
@Luke
Oh you silly man. You forget that Shane had his balls electrocuted by Kane and survived! A giraffe has NO CHANCE of munching on Shane-o-mac’s’ family jewels!
@art123guy
You’re right, I did forget that and I do feel silly. But that means there’s a way Shane can survive the landing. Think South Park, Medicinal Fried Chicken. Does he have a microwave?
They could also try to microwave the giraffe.
