WWE.com

Shane McMahon says that the rumors of his father, Vince McMahon, starting up a new pro wrestling company are false.

In a new interview with TMZ Sports, McMahon was asked about his father starting up a new entertainment company and whether that meant he'd be looking to compete against WWE with a new wrestling promotion. Shane shot down that notion, but left the door open for Vince to play a part in current day WWE.

"You never know what's gonna happen out there. Of course, anything can happen in WWE, but those rumors are false. Those rumors are false. He owns a big part of TKO still, so you never know what's gonna happen there either. So I'm not trying to be vague, I'm just saying anything can happen.
