Shane stated, “It has been an incredible experience to help build WWE® into a global phenomenon.  However, having been associated with this organization for the majority of my life, I feel this is the opportune time in my career to pursue outside ventures.” 

“Even though I am personally saddened by Shane’s decision to leave the company, I am proud of the enormous contributions he has made.  He will unquestionably bring passion, commitment and extensive business experience to any endeavor he pursues,” said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman and CEO.
