In July, Shane McMahon shocked fans by meeting with Tony Khan at an airport in Arlington, Texas to discuss potential plans and their mutual love for wrestling. Ever since, speculation has grown that McMahon could join AEW in due time, a possibility that TBS Champion Mercedes Moné would be all for.
In her latest newsletter, Moné shares why she is on board with McMahon possibly joining AEW and her belief that this sentiment is shared by the rest of AEW’s roster.
“Seeing Shane’s incredible heart and passion for wrestling makes me think he has a lot of unfinished business. It also makes me think is Shane coming to AEW? I’m here for it, and I’m sure our roster is too.
“If he doesn’t come back to wrestling, it will make me sad for him. “I know what it’s like to be removed from what you love and how sad it made me. I imagine he feels the same way.”
Moné has played a role in the Shane-AEW rumor buzz, as after McMahon’s meeting with Khan was leaked online, the CEO shared that she was the one who photographed the pair.
While the idea of a McMahon being ‘All Elite’ seemed preposterous just a few years ago, Shane’s meeting with Khan proves the old adage to ‘never say never’ in wrestling. After all, it was ‘impossible’ just a few years ago that Vince McMahon would leave WWE, an act that has happened not once but twice since July 2022.
Though his days as a full-time performer are in the past, McMahon has a passion and insight into wrestling, both the on-screen product and the business side, that’d make him a valuable asset to Tony Khan. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on Shane McMahon and whether he is one day ‘All Elite.’
