Shane McMahon in WWE

Shane McMahon started off in WWE and worked in a number of divisions like television production, sales, marketing, and international business development. In 1989, he became a referee at the Survivor Series event and also refereed during the 1991 Royal Rumble match.

In 2001, Shane feuded with his father once again, defeating him at WrestleMania 17. He then purchased WCW in March 2001. He also wanted to buy ECW and run it as a separate entity but Vince had other ideas as he bought ECW and let the promotion close down completely before reviving it under the banner of WWE.

During his wrestling career, he defeated the Big Show and Kurt Angle and fought Kevin Owens, Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley.

He returned to WWE in February 2016 and faced The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32 where he was defeated. In July 2016, he was appointed as the storyline commissioner of SmackDown Live.
