WWE Royal Rumble 2022 was an interesting event with various legends and superstars’ unexpected returns. However, in the Men’s Royal Rumble at number 28, it was none other than “The Prodigal Son,” Shane McMahon, who made a return.
During the Rumble, he was able to eliminate Kevin Owens until Brock Lesnar, who won the Men’s Royal Rumble match, eliminated Shane.
Shane O’Mac has not been seen in a WWE match since April 2021. At WrestleMania 37, Shane faced Braun Strowman in a steel cage match. “The Monster Among Men” won the Steel Cage Match after throwing Shane McMahon from the top of the cage.
