Shane McMahon’s potential involvement with AEW has recently sparked internet speculation.

During the Grilling JR podcast, Conrad Thompson told Jim Ross the following about the idea of Shane in AEW:

โ€œThere was a friend of ours, I shouldnโ€™t say their name, but he went out of his way to text me and say, โ€˜Hey, thatโ€™s not as crazy as you think. I know for sure that Shane McMahon has reached out to wrestlers on the AEW roster to at least hypothetically discuss the idea.’โ€

While speaking on his podcast, former WWE and AEW star Matt Hardy was asked if he could see Shane in AEW:

โ€œHeโ€™s not. I heard from someoneโ€ฆ none of that was true. Itโ€™s Matt Fiction, 100%, yeah. It would be wild. Shane reached out to someone, said like, โ€˜Why is all this talk of me and AEW, whyโ€™s this going on?โ€™ People started texting me about it, and reached out to someone and asked them about it, which was interesting.โ€
