Vince had no choice but to let Shane McMahon go

It is being reported that Vince McMahon had no choice but to let Shane McMahon go after what he did at the Rumble.

According to a report from RSN, Shane wanted to play a major role in the Rumble match and openly buried other producers. There were a lot of changes made to the main event and the WWE roster seemed very upset with the proceedings.

According to the report, Shane was going against his father to change things which led to Vince removing him from the Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania.

"Vince had no choice. Shane created chaos, had everyone in an uproar, pissed off everyone in the Rumble, openly buried other producers, and was changing things that Vince wanted. Vince had no other choice but to send him home." revealed RSN.

To add to that, the writers have been instructed that there will be no more creative discussions about Shane from now on.
