Shane Brandon McMahon[4] (/məkˈmæn/ mək-MAN; born January 15, 1970)[5] is an American businessman and professional wrestler. He is best known for his tenures in WWE.

The son of Vince McMahon, he is a fourth-generation wrestling promoter as a member of the McMahon family. He began working in WWF (World Wrestling Federation, now WWE) at age 15, starting in their warehouse, where he filled merchandise orders. McMahon was a referee, producer, announcer, and eventually a wrestler, while becoming WWE's Executive Vice President of Global Media behind the scenes. As a wrestler, he has won the European Championship once, the Hardcore Championship, the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, and the WWE World Cup in 2018.

In 2004 he founded Seven Stars Cloud Group, which became Ideanomics where he serves as executive chairman. On October 1, 2009, McMahon announced his resignation from WWE. Later that year, he became CEO of entertainment service company YOU On Demand. On July 12, 2013, McMahon stepped down as CEO of YOU On Demand and appointed Weicheng Liu as his successor, while remaining the company's principal executive officer and Vice chairman of the board until 2021, when McMahon was promoted to Executive chairman. In 2016, he returned to WWE where he was a prominently featured figure until 2020. In later years he would wrestle sporadically, with his final appearance being at WrestleMania 39.
