Shane McMahon and Tony Khan made headlines last fall amid reports of a potential collaboration. It was rumored that the two met at an airport in Arlington, TX, to discuss the future of All Elite Wrestling. However, over six months have passed since then, and a new update has now emerged regarding McMahon’s status with AEW.
According to Fightful Select, McMahon sought a major role in All Elite Wrestling, wanting decision-making power to “run things around.” However, Khan reportedly dismissed the idea, seeing it as a joke. Since then, the AEW President has seemingly ghosted the former WWE star, signaling that there are no plans for collaboration at this time.
The report also indicated that McMahon didn’t fully grasp AEW’s business model, as his vision for the company differed from Khan’s long-term plans. This led to some disagreements during their meeting. While it initially seemed like a deal could materialize, Khan ultimately decided to ghost Shane O’Mac, bringing any potential collaboration to a halt.
Moreover, there was speculation that the former WWE star might make his AEW debut at World’s End, but that never came to fruition, as McMahon was nowhere to be seen. With the ever-evolving landscape of professional wrestling in 2025, it will be interesting to see where Shane ultimately lands.
Why Shane McMahon’s arrival in AEW could be a game-changer for Tony Khan?
Shane McMahon has long been rumored to be heading to AEW. While those plans never materialized, fans still hold out hope that the 55-year-old could eventually join the Jacksonville-based promotion. If McMahon were to make the move to Tony Khan’s company, it could be a game-changing decision that shifts the trajectory of All Elite Wrestling.

McMahon is an astute businessman with invaluable insights that could benefit AEW and Tony Khan. With decades of experience in wrestling, the former WWE star could bring a wealth of knowledge to the Jacksonville-based promotion. Additionally, his creative vision could play a crucial role in shaping AEW’s future.
Furthermore, Shane could take on an on-screen role in AEW, potentially reshaping the storytelling landscape as an authority figure. Rumors suggest he might align with Jon Moxley and The Death Riders, adding an intriguing new dynamic to the promotion. His presence could bring a fresh layer of unpredictability to AEW’s narratives. If this materializes, it could elevate All Elite Wrestling to new heights.
