As reported earlier, Shane McMahon was “quietly let go” from WWE following Royal Rumble 2022. He was originally scheduled to compete at Elimination Chamber as well as Wrestlemania 38 but then he was released after picking up significant heat for his role as a producer and writer of the Men’s Royal Rumble Match that took place on January 29. He also competed in the match, but that action was reportedly heavily criticized.
Talents didn’t like the way how he took charge of the booking and tried to make the match centered around himself. Vince McMahon was upset about this and he ended up releasing his own son from the contract but he didn’t want to make a situation out of it. Hence, it was done in a hush-hush process.

More updates are now available around the situation as a new report from Fightful has surfaced regarding the Shane McMahon – Royal Rumble controversy. It was noted by several sources that Shane had the intention of coming out in a spot that would highlight him well through the match. He even mentioned the number-one spot in his pitch.

Vince McMahon personally made the plan changes to the men’s Rumble and said that the plans laid out by Shane would be scrapped Vince and the winner of the match Brock Lesnar heard the plans he had pitched, and neither of the men was happy with the ideas. Shane McMahon reportedly continued to push for the ideas but that never took place.
Also, it was noted that in the report, explaining that Shane McMahon’s original draw, 29, and Randy Orton’s original number, 28 was reversed somehow. Shane McMahon reacted hastily to the situation, but Randy informed him that he wasn’t intending to enter via Shane’s “Here Comes The Money” theme song and that too in front of his hometown of St. Louis.
Shane McMahon apparently wasn’t aware of the current WWE storylines and he didn’t know what was happening on TV, which led to certain dull moments in The Rumble. He also allegedly tried to “pull the McMahon card” with the other Men’s Royal Rumble Match producers, and let things happen in his way to have a big moment in the match. But things turned out in a negative way.
WWE hasn’t confirmed Shane McMahon’s release from the contract but he was subsequently pulled from RAW, Elimination Chamber, and WrestleMania 38 plans. It’s likely that he won’t be seen for a long time.
