Shane McMahon Return Rumors, Club WWE Update, Raw/SmackDown Notes & More

– After working a match at AEW Collision last week, two days later, Nixi XS worked as an extra backstage in a segment on WWE Raw.

– Despite social media chatter to the contrary, Shane McMahon’s status on WWE.com has not changed. There has been talk about him being moved to the active roster, but that is not the case. As noted, AJ Lee, Paige and The Bella Twins were recently moved to free agents, and Brock Lesnar was moved to the Alumni section.

– WWE has started work on content for the Club WWE project. The content reportedly covers a number of weeks.

– In terms of the takedown of streamer clips by WWE, this is the most vast they’ve gone. It’s being handled by a company called StreamEnforcement.
