The explanation that fans on social media demanded Shane McMahon be in charge felt a little weak on last week's broadcast. WWE need to at least try to explain what's going on, because there's a major hole in the story right now. Shane lost at WrestleMania, so why is he calling the shots on Raw?

There's no real easy way to do this, the company have booked themselves into a corner with this one. One solution could be to have Vince McMahon explain that neither Stephanie nor Triple H agree with his decision-making, but he's willing to admit that he was maybe wrong about Shane. 

If the audience enjoys his presence, then he will - for now - give them what they want, at least until there's some resistance. This opens the story up for intervention from Triple H and Stephanie. 

Vince's explanation may be meek, but it's better than not addressing the situation at all.
