Shane McMahon recently returned to WWE at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, but following the show it was reported that Shane had been quietly let go. It was also later reported that Shane had pitched the idea of working with Austin Theory or Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 38.
It seems that Shane McMahon will no longer be part of WrestleMania, but WrestleVotes is reporting that Shane’s spot was supposed to be positioned near the top of the card. It’s being said that WWE now needs a major attraction match outside of the title bouts. WrestleMania 38 is set to take place in April, but as of now the card is still in flux.
Source states the spot Shane McMahon was going to have on the WrestleMania card was to be positioned near the top. Therefore, WWE now needs a new “major attraction” matchup outside of the titles. This goes w/o saying, but the WM card is still in complete flux. It’s quite amazing.

So far the only two matches that have been confirmed for WrestleMania 38 are Roman Reigns vs. Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey vs. Charlotte Flair. It’s safe to say that over the next few weeks more pieces for the WrestleMania card will likely fall into place. Stay tuned for updates.
