"Shane McMahon's still got it!", Michael Cole proudly exclaimed as 'The Money' crumpled to the mat clutching his torn quad having landed awkwardly from a leapfrog during their WrestleMania 39 mini-match.

It was a daft call anyway but became cursed on rewatch, much like the entirety of McMahon's shock return on the night, and the Royal Rumble 2022 cameo that saw him booted from view by his own Dad a year earlier. McMahon generates big pops when he gives it enough time between returns, but it's likely the beating he took at the 'Show Of Shows' has made him think very carefully about any future returns, let alone springing from one side of the ring to the other.

Lifting it from Rob Van Dam for the big finish to his WrestleMania X-Seven classic against his old man, the move was very much part of the high-flying low-experience chancer his character he was happy to play back then. It's futile to assume his mind has moved on from that period, but evidence that his body has might be enough to stop him from turning the clock back again.
