- WrestlingINC.com is reporting that WWE Executive Vice President of Global Media Shane McMahon, son of WWE CEO Vince McMahon, has resigned from the company effective Jan. 1, 2010.

Don't expect Shane McMahon to head into MMA though, as another report on WrestlingINC.com states that McMahon will most likely work with his mom, Linda, on her U.S. Senate run for the state of Connecticut.
