Shane McMahon was last seen on WWE programming at Royal Rumble 2022, where he was a surprise entry in the 30-man Royal Rumble match.
He was also in charge of handling the entry numbers for this match backstage, and in the process, he annoyed a lot of people by changing the creative for this match several times.
Vince McMahon was also mad at Shane O’Mac, as he felt so many changes put WWE in a bad light in front of celebrities like Bad Bunny, so was also a part of this match.
Due to this, Vince sent Shane home and plans for Shane to wrestle at WrestleMania 38 were canceled as well.
WWE filed an 8-K yesterday, which revealed Shane’s WWE salary for 2022:
“In 2022, Shane McMahon was retained as an independent contractor performer by the Company and received an aggregate of approximately $828,000 in connection with such services.”
