Shane McMahon Insulted By Vince Before Firing

Shane McMahon had departed WWE on bad terms after Royal Rumble earlier this year. He was noted to be very aggressive with producers and he was said to be more concerned about his involvement in the Rumble match rather than worrying about spots that would help out wrestlers in the match. The relationship between Vince and Shane seemed to have cracks. This was a time when speculations floated about his move to AEW.

 


 

Vince McMahon made some alleged comments about Shane McMahon

Recently, in an update from Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp via Fightful Select, Vince McMahon was heard backstage telling others that his son “would never get another pop in this company as long as I’m around,” following their Royal Rumble dispute.

A WWE source told SRS that they believe the statement was stated “in the heat of the moment” but felt that Mr. McMahon’s frustration with his son at the time was “extreme, but justified” due to the fact that he reportedly “compromised Brock Lesnar’s satisfaction” with the Rumble match that night.

Wade Keller of Pro Wrestling Torch recently revealed that there is a divide between Shane and recently-appointed Co-CEO Stephanie McMahon:

“Jerry Jarrett told me the story on record that he was having dinner with the McMahon’s and either he or someone at the table said, ‘Shane, you know, someday you’re going to be running the company like your dad.’ And Stephanie was years younger than Shane, established her Alpha attitude. She jumped in and said, ‘Uh uh, daddy’s little girl is going to be the one running the show someday not Shane.’ That rivalry has been there. The divide between those two, I’m told, is still there. And there is no reconciliation or power sibling team expected.”
