Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross mentioned that Tony will hire Shane if he is an asset to the company and can help the promotion.
"If Shane could help us, help AEW, then Tony would hire him, and Shane would accept the offer. I had never seen that picture [of Khan and McMahon meeting]. That’s surprising. That’s pretty cool, actually. Shane, he could add a lot. He could do some physical things, within reason. He has great name identity. People who know he is. You don’t have to stop and explain, ‘This is Vince McMahon’s son.’ That goes without saying." [H/T Fightful]
