Jim Ross would not count out Shane McMahon appearing for All Elite Wrestling, despite his family’s decades of running wrestling with WWE.
On a recent edition of his “Grilling JR” podcast, Ross and co-host Conrad Thompson discussed the possibility of Shane going to AEW and JR wouldn’t write off the idea. He said,
“It’s so crazy that it might work, depending on how it was positioned and how it was introduced. Shane called me the other day, he’s called me two or three times, which I really appreciate.
“He’s always been sensitive in that respect. That’s only a question that Shane could answer. Shane and Tony Khan being together, how would that work creatively, heck, who knows? Might be great. But in any event, that all depends on Shane and what he wants to do.”
Shane was let go from WWE in 2022 over backstage incidents at that year’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view event but returned to WWE at WrestleMania 39 in April 2023.
McMahon has not appeared for WWE since suffering a torn quadriceps injury during his WrestleMania 39 match. He was recently spotted at a New York Yankees game.
