After his return to action in the men's WWE Royal Rumble match Saturday, Shane McMahon is booked for both the Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 38, according to our Dave Meltzer.

It's unknown who those matches will be against. Meltzer said in Sunday's daily update that McMahon "has a match on the books but it was said to have not been finalized a few days ago which is evidently why they did no angle with him (at the Rumble)."

The 52-year-old entered the Rumble at number 28 and was eliminated by eventual winner Brock Lesnar. McMahon was last seen in the ring at WrestleMania 37, losing in a steel cage match to Braun Strowman. That was his first match since October 2019 when he lost a career vs. career ladder match against Kevin Owens.

The Elimination Chamber is set for Saudi Arabia on Saturday, February 19th, and it will be McMahon's fourth appearance in a match there dating back to 2018. He appeared in the Greatest Royal Rumble and won the World Cup final over Dolph Ziggler in two events that year and defeated Roman Reigns in 2019.

It will be his sixth WrestleMania match dating back to 2001.

Why

Meh doesn’t bother me that much

 

[Chris]

The Saudi one I get since apparently they just love the guy but man he don't need a Mania match

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Gonna be against KO I bet

He gotta jump off something high

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Reminder that Finn balor, Cesaro and probably more I'm forgetting weren't in the rumble for guys like shane and madcap moss lmfao

 

[Chris]

He gotta jump off something high

He literally already did it at a Mania in the same arena 6 years ago the novelty has worn off

But you ain't wrong, it's what he's gonna do

 

[Cwalker]

Oh shit I forgot it’s in Dallas again

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Do you think they will sell out both nights Chris?

Idk probably not? You can fit over 100k, so unless it's one of those sellouts where sections were never opened it I don't think so, they always add more standing room tickets if needed at Cowboys stadium too, it's fucking huge

Fair

Yeah 200 k over two days is a big ask in a market that's had a lot of shows. Wwe mainstream but yea prob not a full one by your explanation. I'm sure they can do 60-80k though mb

Market doesn't matter tbh I'd wager its a small portion (less than half at least) of the local market at any given Mania nowadays. It's just a travel destination now, that's why all the indies do shows that weekend too bc fans from literally all over the world travel

Well I'm not sure if we're getting international travel by March as outside the US there's still a pandemic but under normal circumstances id agree and ull still get Canadians + all Americans from other states
