-- Earlier this week on an episode of "Grilling JR" with Jim Ross and Conrad Thompson, an interesting topic was discussed - the possibility of Shane McMahon in AEW. Thompson had revealed that a friend of his texted him randomly after the two initially brought up this scenario a week prior saying the idea isn't as wild as it may seem and that McMahon had reached out to some AEW wrestlers and talked about coming in.
-- In the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer reported that officials in both WWE and AEW stated that they had heard nothing about those rumors while others said they also didn't hear anything apart from what Thompson and Ross discussed. Meltzer also reported that yet another person stated that Shane and an ex-WWE wrestler who is currently in AEW simply chatted about the public attention it would garner if he came out on Dynamite but that it wasn't a case of McMahon pitching or angling to come in, rather it was simply a casual conversation that Thompson got wind of.
-- AEW CEO Tony Khan released a statement to the Observer on Shane McMahon, simply saying: "I’ve never met him or talked to him in my life."
