Vice Sports recently released an interesting piece that looked behind the scenes of WWE and some of the issues with the company. The article gave a lot of insight into the McMahon family and some of the sibling rivalry between Stephanie and Shane McMahon.

One of the most interesting parts of the article was when it talks about an offer Shane made to Vince McMahon back in 2012.

According to the article’s sources, Shane asked for a surprise meeting at WWE’s production office with Vince and WWE brass (in 2012). Shane brought with him critically acclaimed author: James Frey and they presented an offer to Vince:

Shane wanted to take over WWE creative. Frey and his team would would as consultants for the product.

According to the article, Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were not happy about this. Shane set up the meeting through Kevin Dunn, who reportedly doesn’t get along with Triple H and Stephanie. It also notes that there is real-life tension between Shane and Stephanie based on control of WWE.

The offer was ultimately declined by Vince and we didn’t see Shane on WWE TV until early 2016. The WWE played out some of the real-life tension in storyline between Shane and Stephanie that we saw earlier in the year. Looks like it was a lot more real than fans realized at the time.

Fascinating stuff. You can check the article out here.
