They haven't actually announced releases in a bit now. Likely because, rightfully, they got a lot of shit for it. Now they still get shit because their own talent announce it but better coming from them, I guess, than having the look of “LOOK AT OUR RECORD PROFITS” on one news tab and “We have come to the terms of the release of 20 more people” on another. Yup, there's that, plus my understanding is he wasn't under contract anymore, anyway, right? Probably some sort of handshake deal. Rare for WWE, but not unheard of, since there was portions of Hogan's mid-2000s return when he wasn't actually under contract, since Vince and Hogan had that level of mutual trust at the time.

This story is so weird that they’ll probably bring him back again to try to refute the bad press that he was let go.

"How can this story get funnier?" "They're punishing Shane for annoying Bad Bunny."

WWE are desperate for “mainstream attention.” And you have a hugely successful musician/artist who also loves wrestling and is willing to make appearance including taking bumps (he took an F-5 from freaking Brock in this match). Yeah of course they do not want to risk annoying him.

Thank you, Shane, for taking the fall so that we can all have a good laugh. You are truly the People's Champion.

We need a Self Destruction of Shane McMahon documentary. Thank you, Shane, for taking the fall so that we can all have a good laugh. You are truly the People's Champion. He's had a career full of crazy falls and this is his most entertaining one yet.

What I get out of this...
1) Isn't there someone else who calls himself Best in the World? Might Shane track this individual down?
2) My curious mind makes me wonder how much of an IWC whiplash is out there, from "Not Shane (when he was announced for the Rimble/we found out he had influence over the match)" to "Poor Shane". As we know, we can be haters until WWE "victimizes" someone...see also Warrior, Ultimate (2005) and Jax, Nia (yesterday when she was applauded for turning down the Rimble. That didn't last long when she in the same interview, ahem, presented her stance on a certain world event)
3) I am thinking of The Raccoons...well I always do, but when Cedric Sneer said, "Pop (Cyril Sneer) hasn't been so happy since he evicted Grandma!"

I know the jokes are all gonna be AEW but let's be real Shane is gonna be GCW champion and he's going to no-sell a roof bump before kicking out at 2 flat after Nick Gage shoots him in the chest.

Just imagine... As I said when people were spitballing Triple H showing up in AEW, competing with Vince will get him cut out of the will. Spiting Vince is not worth giving up what will probably be a couple billion dollars in inheritance.

Shane is so gonna try and buy this company if it ever goes up for sale. You know, I’d go for that. Sure, the company would be bad. It would probably be funny bad. I’d take that improvement right now.

Yeah, probably wise not to piss off the multi-platinum mega star that's willing to work with you, and not just work with you but put in a full effort. Helps to make it an easier decision when according to reports wrestlers weren't the biggest fans of Shane, but they love Bad Bunny.
