On PWTorch.com, Wade Keller gave a lot of details on what happened between Vince and Shane McMahon backstage at the Royal Rumble.
As many of you have already read about, Shane was said to be very confrontational with producers and he was said to be more focused on 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 seems to be fractured but Keller noted that there have been issues long before the Royal Rumble and people backstage were not surprised to see things blow up the way they did on Saturday.
Keller also noted how the “Shane is All Elite” memes are popping up on social media but people in WWE want Tony Khan to know what he’s in for if he considers signing Shane. At this point, there is no indication that there is any interest from AEW.
“Yes, the [fake meme] graphics are out [saying] Shane is All Elite,” Keller said. “Tony Khan may or may not reach out to Shane.”
Keller added, “people in WWE are letting me know that someone should warn Tony Khan what he’s in for if he brings Shane in, because the sense of entitlement, and I don’t know if ego is the right word, that Shane would bring along with him in a company that isn’t WWE would probably be amplified compared to how he was acting on Saturday, which was just basically out of control.”
