Backstage News on Shane McMahon’s Current WWE Run, When His WrestleMania Match Was Made, Vince’s Reaction to Cena’s Injury

February 25, 2016

As noted, Shane McMahon has been added to the WWE Raw taping in Chicago on March 7th.

According to The Wrestling Observer, Shane’s current WWE run is scheduled to last through WrestleMania and not beyond, but that could always change depending on how things pan out. Dave Meltzer noted the following:

“…Even those closest to the family and near the top recognize the way Vince thinks. Already people are noting that the family soap opera behind the scenes is likely to become far more interesting than the one playing out on the screen.”

With regards to Shane vs The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32, the match was decided upon about 4 weeks ago after it became clear that John Cena would not be healthy enough in time for WrestleMania to face Undertaker.

Vince McMahon was reportedly devastated when he learned John Cena would miss ‘Mania, as he was planning on that match carrying the big event.

This morning’s WrestleZone Daily started off with an in-deep look at the the future of Shane McMahon in WWE. You can listen to it in the embedded audio player below:

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
