Shane Brandon McMahon[4] (/məkˈmæn/ mək-MAN; born January 15, 1970)[5] is an American businessman and professional wrestler. He is best known for his two tenures in WWE from 1988 to 2009 and 2016 to 2024.
The son of Vince McMahon, he is a fourth-generation wrestling promoter as a member of the McMahon family. He began working in WWF (World Wrestling Federation, now WWE) at age 15, starting in their warehouse, where he filled merchandise orders. McMahon was a referee, producer, announcer, and eventually a wrestler, while becoming WWE's Executive Vice President of Global Media behind the scenes. As a wrestler, he has won the European Championship once, the Hardcore Championship, the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, and the WWE World Cup in 2018.
In 2004 he founded Seven Stars Cloud Group, which became Ideanomics where he serves as executive chairman. On October 1, 2009, McMahon announced his resignation from WWE. Later that year, he became CEO of entertainment service company YOU On Demand. On July 12, 2013, McMahon stepped down as CEO of YOU On Demand and appointed Weicheng Liu as his successor, while remaining the company's principal executive officer and Vice chairman of the board until 2021, when McMahon was promoted to Executive chairman. In 2016, he returned to WWE where he was a prominently featured figure until October 2019. Since August 2020, he has wrestled or appeared at WWE events sporadically, as of February 2025, his most recent appearance occurring at WrestleMania 39.
