Reports: Shane McMahon No Longer With WWE, Plans for Upcoming Appearances Scrapped

Frustration coming out of the Royal Rumble has led to Shane McMahon’s departure from WWE.

Ringside News reported on Wednesday that the 52-year-old McMahon has been quietly “let go” from WWE and is no longer in the plans for the upcoming Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, WrestleMania 38 or upcoming episodes of WWE television. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer confirmed that McMahon is out of WWE and is no longer booked for future shows.

On Wrestling Observer Radio earlier this week, Meltzer said that there was a lot of heat on McMahon over this year’s men’s Royal Rumble match. McMahon was the lead producer for the men’s Rumble and also appeared in the match as an in-ring talent.
