SHANE-O-MAC = BACK. One of the highlights of the poorly-received 2022 Men's Royal Rumble match was grand return as the twenty-eighth entrant. The fan base heavily criticized the thirty-man melee, and much of the blame fell upon the shoulders of Shane O’Mac, who played a large role in producing the match. The backstage heat on the Prodigal Son was so intense that the 52-year-old was following the Rumble Premium Live Event. His father, Vince McMahon, personally decided to 'fire' him, and it doesn't seem as if Shane is returning anytime soon. The former Commissioner of SmackDown was to face Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, but those plans were scrapped following his release.

Moreover, his departure was hidden from the casual fan's eye and it was not acknowledged on WWE's official website, and Shane-O-Mac was not mentioned on TV again.
