Shane McMahon to AEW
By Scott Keith on 20 June 2024
On scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the same level of the Outsiders invading WCW, and 10 being two torn quadriceps on the way to the ring, how impactful would Shane McMahon coming to AEW be?
Like I'm assuming that he's no longer under a performer's contract in WWE? He wouldn't be the Outsiders because ultimately he's an old dude with a broken body and he's not gonna be working matches, but that's a solid 2 or 3 on your scale just for the optics alone. I don't hate the idea, either. In a wrestling business where everyone knows everything is “fake”, having a McMahon come into AEW would at least be on the level of realness to fans of something like Eric Bischoff debuting on RAW in 2002, assuming they didn't do something stupid like have him hug Tony Khan on his first night.
