SHANE MCMAHON has been released by the WWE just days after this year’s Royal Rumble, reports claim.
The 52-year-old had made his latest return to the company for the event, but his stay looks like being a brief one.
It had been expected that Shane would feature at the Elimination Chamber in Jeddah later this month, as well as Wrestlemania 38 in April.
But according to Ringside News, these appearances will now categorically not happen.
They claim that Shane was a ‘nightmare’ as producer of last week’s men’s Royal Rumble match.
Their report adds that he wanted to ‘book the match around himself’ and that he ‘openly buried Jamie Noble’.
It’s said that Shane created ‘chaos’, p***ing everyone off’ and causing ‘uproar’.
They also report that he tried to make changes to factors that on Vince was insistent on.
The event was panned by disappointed fans online.
In the end, the elder McMahon, 76, felt he had no choice but to relieve his son of his duties.
It’s reported that Shane was ‘quietly let go’.
Vince was recently devastated to learn of the passing of his mother Vicki Askew aged 101.
Askew died peacefully of natural causes.
