10 Booking Steps For Shane McMahon In AEW

The finale of this angle would reach a proper resolution that nWo vs. WCW never managed to do. It should have ended with the nWo virus being cured, rather than reboots and fizzling out until the company's demise. The ultimate goal here is to reestablish AEW as the winning team.

The civil war within All Elite Wrestling between Team AEW and Team Elite would reach a ceasefire. Tony Khan, Kenny Omega and the AEW figureheads would find themselves some unlikely allies in The Young Bucks and Team Elite, who will have been transitioning into more tweener roles over time while McMahon became progressively the bigger heel.

While they might have their disagreements, the general truce would revolve around how an even bigger villain threatens them all. Think of this in the style of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants teaming up with the X-Men to face Apocalypse, or Johnny Lawrence creating Eagle Fang and teaming with Daniel LaRusso's Miyagi-Do to face Cobra Kai.

Anarchy in the Arena and Stadium Stampede will have come and gone. It would be time for a Survivor Series style points system pay-per-view for company control, with several matches leading up to a Blood & Guts finale. A team of Jon Moxley, The Young Bucks, Adam Page or Kenny Omega (if healthy), and perhaps Darby Allin (or Will Ospreay or Swerve Strickland, take your pick) as the sum of both teams would defeat McMahon's MJF-led team, proving the "All Elite" moniker as the victor.

From that point on, McMahon could be behind the scenes or used in a lesser role as a manager, but he'd at least have been part of an Avengers: Endgame style grand finale that would allow for a reset of sorts with new stories to be told, and AEW would get its much sought after victory over a McMahon that may never happen with the actual AEW vs. WWE competition.
