WWE ‘to bring Shane McMahon back for WrestleMania 38 weekend’ just months after legend was axed by his own dad Vince
SHANE McMAHON is coming back for WrestleMania 38 following his recent dismissal by his father Vince.
Shane hasn’t been seen since the Royal Rumble in January when he appeared as a surprise entrant in the men’s over-the-top-rope annual battle royal.
The 52-year-old was the lead producer of the men’s Rumble and received a lot of heat backstage after the show due to the way the bout was booked.
The former European Champion was then quietly let go from the company his father Vince owns.
The American businessman was removed from the Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania shows, which he was originally set to attend.
According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, however, Shane is being brought back to Dallas for Mania weekend.

It is not yet known if the former SmackDown Commissioner will play any part during the main show, which takes place at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Shane started out in his father’s company as a referee in 1988 and made his full TV debut 10 years later when he joined Vince’s Corporation stable.
He would often transition from backstage official to in-ring talent, sometimes he would even combine the two.
Shane has shared the ring with some of the all-time best throughout the years, such as The Undertaker, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and many more.
