Rumors were circulating earlier in the year after Summerslam that Shane McMahon would be facing Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 33. After Lesnar TKO’d Randy Orton, Shane McMahon came down to the ring to stop the attack. Shane was given an F5 for his troubles, teasing a potential match between the two.
Now that it looks like Lesnar and Goldberg are on a collision course for Wrestlemania 33, Shane McMahon is still without an opponent. There are some rumors circulating about who it might turn out to be.
On the post-Survivor Series episode of Smackdown LIVE, we saw a lot of tension being teased between Shane McMahon and Dean Ambrose. Shane was upset that Ambrose almost cost team Smackdown LIVE the match at Survivor Series when he came back to attack AJ Styles. He kicked him out of the arena and kept getting infuriated with Ambrose after he kept sneaking back in.
Rumors are circulating that WWE could be building a long-term feud between Ambrose and Shane McMahon that would lead into a match at Wrestlemania 33. Certainly not set in stone, but we will have to see how WWE books the interactions between Shane and Dean over the next several weeks on Smackdown.

It was also briefly mentioned by Dave Meltzer on his appearance on Live Audio Wrestling (LAW) that WWE might be thinking of a potential Shane McMahon vs Triple H match. This seems unlikely because of Triple H being penciled in by many to face Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania, but WWE will keep it in their back pocket in case plans change or someone gets injured.
The match would be a family showdown, with Triple H representing his wife Stephanie McMahon.
Let us know your thoughts in the comment section below. It is clear after Shane wrestling at Survivor Series that he still wants to wrestle. Who would you like to see him face at Wrestlemania 33?
dean deserves better.
here’s a thought… maybe shane doesn’t need to wrestle at wrestlemania. maybe save him for a PPV down the line. mania sells itself. you really don’t need a shane gimmick match this year.
Shane vs Ambrose would be awesome. After that Lesnar debacle, he needs and deserves a big name match with someone who will let him shine like the star he is.
That being said, Shane would really need to train for it since he was blowing up during the Survivor Series match. Even cutting him some slack in that it was only his second match after being gone for seven years and getting pummeled by Strowman, who’s stiff as a board; he would really need to train to keep up with Ambrose, who is about 15 years younger. IF he could do that, it would be awesome.
