WWE PLEs are incomplete without interesting guest appearances. Fastlane featured the fourth-generation McMahon ever since the beginning of WWE. Tonight, fans saw Shane McMahon‘s son make his WWE TV appearance. Though the college student didn’t make an in-ring debut or anything remotely associated with the ongoing storylines, his father was still proud of his son.
From the very start of the event, Declan McMahon was standing ringside, along with his peers right behind the announcer’s table. The fun group of young men were trying to get the camera’s attention but were unable to do so. However, as the main event was approaching, the camera finally focused on the friend circle as Declan was standing in the middle. And witnessing the sight, Shane couldn’t feel prouder.

Shane McMahon was let go from WWE by his father from WWE in 2022 after the Royal Rumble debacle that year, where he was criticized for his booking of the event. Despite this, Declan McMahon still showed up at the event. We can see Declan carrying a championship belt with the Indiana Hoosiers logo on the same. The reason behind this is that he is a player on the NCAA Division 1 football team. Shane uploaded a proud message seeing WWE announce his son’s name on the screen with additional screen time.
Shane McMahon took to Twitter and wrote, “So proud to be Declan McMahon’s father @ODmcmahon. Let’s go Hoosiers.” Not only did Shane confess that he was proud to be Declan’s father, but he also cheered up his football team.

Seeing Declan appear at a WWE PLE was a unique sight for fans who know the family history of McMahons. So, Vince McMahon‘s grandson’s appearance was a surprise, particularly because of Vince’s relationship with his son.

Though not much is known about their personal bond, professionally, the father-son duo wasn’t very alike. According to numerous sources, Shane and Vince didn’t think in the same manner. And since Shane’s father used to be the boss at the promotion, the professional difference didn’t sit well with him. But the 53-year-old still tried his best to impress his old man.
Jim Ross once revealed in a podcast that Vince’s son was ‘diligent’ in his effort to impress him. He sincerely wanted his father to see that he is a capable businessman. However, things didn’t seem to have worked out the best for them as the duo couldn’t work together for long and Vince had to kick his own son out of his promotion.
