Rumor Roundup: Major Plans For Shane McMahon, WWE Star Was In Line For A Big Push, More

1) Major Plans For Shane McMahon

According to a report from Alex McCarthy, there could be some big plans in store for Shane McMahon in WWE. This won’t be on television though, it will be behind-the-scenes.

McCarthy says that Vince McMahon is considering Shane as the new head of Monday Night RAW. This would allow Bruce Prichard to focus strictly on Smackdown (and not both shows). Here is an excerpt from the report about Shane:

Now, one source in WWE has told me Shane is being considered to take RAW off Bruce Prichard’s hands leaving him to concentrate on SmackDown.

Other sources that I’ve posed this information couldn’t give concrete confirmation, though judging by work behind the scenes, they can believe it. Another layer to the story is Prichard making no secret about the fact he’d like to lighten his workload and he’s been struggling with the long hours.

My Take:

  • That would definitely be an interesting move. I think that Bruce has done a good job so far but being in charge of both shows is likely really difficult. I wouldn’t mind them giving Shane a chance to see what he can do.
