So this might be a twist, but I have a serious theory as to what the scoop on Vince just might be. And I think it has something to do with how Shane's been bending his wrist a lot lately. I'm not sure if that's a lingering affect from past injuries (mine doesn't do it) or if it's a sign that he's working the angle even better, but whatever the case my theory is that Shane had come out of the closet to Vince McMahon years ago, and was unceremoniously "future endeavored". I'm not even joking here, nor am I using this as a way to gay bash. In fact, I'm hoping Shane wins and this IS the scoop he had.
I get it, we all know Shane's straight. He's mentioned his sons and his wife in the past, and it's been brought up time and time again. But the fact is, he doesn't have to be 100% Gay just for this storyline to work. Not to mention, Vince is known to push the limits. And with "coming out" being a hot topic these days it wouldn't surprise me if WWE went about this in a manner to cash in on it. If TNA can be on a station catering to women because it's owned by a woman, then WWE can script Shane into being a bisexual or homosexual son who's come back to reclaim his heir to the throne.
So how did the scoop come about? Well, let's take it back to when Shane left. Kayfabe wise it's never been discussed as to why, so it's not too far along to believe that Shane happened to come out to Vince off camera. During this, Vince released his son from the company and bought out his shares which he in turn sold to Stephanie, Triple H, and other investors. In doing so, Shane filed a workplace claim lawsuit and claimed that Vince fired him due to his sexual preferences. In an undisclosed settlement, it's agreed that Shane will keep his stake in the company and be allowed to venture on to do his own thing. However, Vince has to also change his product (keep in mind this was around the end of the Ruthless Aggression era) to be more family friendly and neither of the parties can bring it up again.
However, being Vince's son, Shane makes a shocking appearance the night after Fastlane to which Vince shits himself. We all saw it, that's not even fan theory just look at his face. Shane didn't refuse to hug him out of serious business, he refused to hug him after smelling that shitty smell (no seriously, go back and watch he even fans his nose). This is also where I first noticed that stereotypical bend in Shane's right arm (because he talks using the left) that a lot of stereotypical over exaggerated gay character in films had; I noticed it again when he beat up on the ONE BLACK SECURITY GUARD a few weeks later, and finally a third time last night during his leap onto the Undertaker. Side note, a fellow forum member last night had made notice of Shane wearing a Red Thong which showed during the Last Ride attempt. Whether it was there or not, who knows; but if that was the angle they're going for then it definitely would fit. Anyway, because Vince KNEW Shane would hold his sexual preferences against him and ruin everything for the WWE, Vince quickly reacted and set up this match at WrestleMania.
And now, to further capitalize on the attempt to win over some LGBT fans, I believe that Shane McMahon will in fact walk out with control over Monday Night Raw by beating the Undertaker at the big dance. And then, on the first show under his power he will announce that he is in fact, although loyal to his wife and kids, a bisexual. He will then unveil everything about how Vince refused to give him control because of his preference and then from there, who knows what happens. Maybe Stephanie gains control at SummerSlam. I don't know, but this is my theory... and it's one that's been highly endorsed by Shane's own mannerisms.
