Here are some of the latest WWE rumors that are floating around.
5) Shane McMahon’s Current Role In WWE
It was revealed this week that Shane McMahon helped put together the men’s Royal Rumble match as a producer. This had many fans wondering if Shane now has a backstage role in WWE.
According to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Shane has not become a full-time producer or backstage agent for WWE.
Shane was simply lending a hand for the men’s Royal Rumble match and that was it.
My Take:
- I wonder if Shane will get more involved in the business side of things now that WWE has fired their Co-Presidents. That definitely seems like an option as Shane has experience running companies.
4) New Female WWE Signing Will Become A Referee
It was recently revealed that WWE had signed Aja Smith to a contract. It turns out that WWE will be using her as a referee and not as a wrestler.
That makes her the first full-time African-American female referee in WWE history:
Aja Smith becomes first full-time African-American female referee signed to WWE
Referee Aja Smith has signed with WWE and reported to the WWE Performance Center, becoming the first African-American full-time female referee signed to WWE.Smith competed across the United States, Japan and Mexico under the name Aja Perera, and has held the SHINE Nova and Tag Team Championship.

My Take:
- Pretty cool to see this happen. Congratulations to Aja and I am excited to watch her career progress.
