Vince McMahon’s son, Shane McMahon, has not been a part of WWE since his departure from WWE in 2022. Even in 2021, Shane had been rarely active in WWE.

In early 2021, Shane got involved in a feud with former WWE superstar Braun Strowman. He competed in a Steel Cage match against Strowman at last year’s WrestleMania. That was Shane’s only match in 2021.

But despite being inactive for a long part of 2021, Shane earned a huge sum of money from Vince McMahon‘s WWE.
