Shane McMahon is leaving SmackDown Live—and this is something the WWE Universe may not like, at least not now. Shane McMahon has announced that he is taking indefinite leave of absence as WWE SmackDown Commissioner.

McMahon announced he would be taking an indefinite leave of absence as SmackDown’s commissioner on Tuesday night’s program as seen below:

The son of WWE chairman Vince McMahon has been the commissioner of SmackDown since the brand split in 2016. He has become increasingly involved in the storylines of late, with tensions with Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn and general manager Daniel Bryan being part of nearly every program.

Odds are this is merely part of Shane’s WrestleMania program, likely a match with Owens, Zayn or both. Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon is already booked for a tag team match with her husband Triple H against Ronda Rousey and general manager Kurt Angle.

Don’t be surprised if Shane reveals he is taking a break as commissioner so that he can allow his “true feelings” about Owens, Zayn, et al., to show.

However, words are already going round that that HHH would have replaced Shane McMahon as the commissioner of SmackDown Live — and that is something Shane would not want to happen, I suppose. Shane would have been written off WWE television for months until the time was right to start the rivalry with HHH for a possible match at SummerSlam.

So many birds are currently flying in the minds of the WWE Creative as fans wonder at what an intriguing sight to behold seeing The Game controlling the SmackDown Live brand, at least for the next several weeks.

On writing board, HHH replacing him may add a lot of intrigue to the show and give him a lot of new talent to work with on WWE television. There are plenty of possibilities for The Game on SmackDown Live, but it’s up to Vince McMahon and WWE officials to set the table right for him.
