Declan McMahon, the son of Shane McMahon, appears to be on the path to following in his family’s footsteps in professional wrestling. With a legacy that stretches back to the founder of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), Vince McMahon, Declan has already made a name for himself on WWE television. He has accompanied his father, Shane, to the ring at WrestleMania 32 and has been present at various WWE events, including WWE Fastlane. In a recent interview, Declan expressed his confidence in following in his family’s footsteps, stating that he is the most likely of Shane and Stephanie McMahon’s children to pursue a career in WWE.
Declan’s family ties to the WWE are undeniable, as he is the great grandson of Vince McMahon and the nephew of Triple H. His grandfather built the WWE into a global entertainment powerhouse, and his uncle has shifted the focus towards a more diverse range of performers. Declan’s ambition and confidence are palpable, as he speaks about potentially following in his family’s footsteps. Despite his family’s prominent position in the WWE, Declan seems unphased by the pressure, stating that he and his family are a close-knit and supportive unit, with any of them potentially interested in pursuing a career in WWE.

When asked about the possibility of joining the WWE Performance Center, Declan seemed receptive, stating that he may frequent the facility eventually. His size, at 6’0″ and 190 lbs, is not a concern, as WWE has traditionally been open to wrestlers of varying physicality. Declan’s story is reminiscent of his grandfather’s rise to power, and he seem’s to be aware of the notion of the “rightful heir” that Vince McMahon once had. He has a sense of destiny about his potential involvement in the WWE, and his confidence is certainly encouraging.
Ultimately, only Declan knows if he will elect to take the leap and pursue a career in WWE. If he does, he will be following in the footsteps of his ancestors, who have built the WWE into the global entertainment powerhouse it is today. The question remains, will Declan McMahon join the ranks of his family’s professional wrestling legacy, or will he forge his own path in the WWE? Only time will tell.
