‘The Rightful Heir’ – Vince McMahon’s Grandson Pitches WWE Storyline

WWE

Declan McMahon, the Indiana Hoosiers Running Back, has weighed in on a potential future as a WWE superstar as ‘the rightful heir.’

The American Football player is the 19-year-old son of Shane McMahon and was most recently in the front row at WWE Fastlane on October 7.

He has spoken about a possible future in WWE previously but acknowledged that he’s currently ‘focusing on football and school.’

On the current episode of Developmentally Speaking, he addressed his plans further, revealing something of the McMahon ego, saying:

“Oh, probably me. I mean, the story, the story’s already written, right? I mean, the rightful heir, the good-looking — the one who looks like Vince, right?

“So, I think, just in the sense that you could play off the WrestleMania 20 [intro], right, like I posted on Twitter, right?

“You could play that off and just show that like, the new generation [of] McMahon has arrived. I think in that sense, I would.

“We have such a great family, and we’re all so supportive of each other. So I think, I think really, any of us could potentially want to do it.

“You know, I know Aurora, Paul’s oldest daughter, Triple H’s oldest daughter, she’s always talked about wanting to do it, but in having my dad and my grandpa’s ego, I think I’d be the best.”

On October 16, Declan McMahon posted an image from the WrestleMania XX intro which featured Declan as a baby alongside his father and grandfather, Vince McMahon.

The tagline for that the 2004 PPV was “Where it all begins… again.”

Declan McMahon has recently discussed his father’s reaction to a pitch to bring a WWE belt to Indiana University.
