Shane McMahon is undeniably the most athletic member of McMahon family. Due to this, he frequently competes in the ring and indulges in feuds with some of the company's top Superstars. He was a key part of the Invasion angle in 2001, but despite being an influence both on and off-screen, he left WWE in 2009 to pursue other ventures.

Fast forward to the February 22, 2016 edition of Raw featuring fallout from Fastlane, Shane made his long-awaited WWE return, much to the WWE Universe's delight. He interrupted Stephanie McMahon before she could receive the "Legacy of Excellence" Award by Vince McMahon. Shane expressed his demand to take charge of Raw, and was consequently booked in a Hell in a Cell match with the Undertaker at WrestleMania 32 in order to do so.

To this day, McMahon remains an on-screen character. However, the fan support he had back in 2016 has diminished with time due to him "taking up too much TV time". Regardless, his return to WWE after nearly a 7-year absence was an exciting moment to witness.
