Former WWE Referee Reveals Why Shane McMahon Left WWE, Claims McMahon Family Is Torn Apart

During the Attitude Era Shane McMahon had a consistent presence on WWE programming, and he became one of the top acts in the company. Stephanie McMahon also became a regular on WWE programming during the Attitude Era, and that’s when she started dating Triple H, who she would go on to marry.

Former WWE referee Mike Chioda claimed on Monday Mailbag that Triple H and Shane had a falling out regarding Triple H’s relationship with Stephanie which led to Shane taking a long hiatus from the company.

“That’s why the feud fell out, that’s for sure. It was a thing from Vince Sr. that came around many years ago. They didn’t want anybody dating talent, none of the kids, and none of their family. He didn’t want them taking bumps, which that didn’t happen. I think Shane really had a big part of that and that’s why Shane and Triple H had a falling out for many years, and that’s why Shane was exiled for 10 years.”

Chioda also noted during the episode that the McMahon family is torn apart, and that all the money in the world can’t fix the issues with the McMahons.

“It’s sad because when I started working for this company, there was Linda McMahon, Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, and Stephanie McMahon and now it seems to be all broken apart. All the money in the world probably can’t fix it. They have all the money in the world, a publicly-traded company, which is ok. The family is torn apart at this point, I think. Maybe not torn apart all the way, which I hope not. But it’s torn apart.”

Shane McMahon last appeared on WWE programming when he was defeated by Braun Strowman at WrestleMania 37 earlier this year. He was named Executive Chairman of Ideanomics back in August.
