In the wake of WrestleMania, the WWE Chairman stuns the WWE Universe by putting The Prodigal son in charge of WWE's flagship show.

Even though he failed to defeat The Undertaker inside Hell in a Cell at WrestleMania, Shane McMahon was still granted a temporary reign as Raw’s showrunner — by Mr. McMahon, of all people. His first night at the helm of Monday night’s hottest show brought us a new Intercontinental Champion, several new Superstar debuts and the return of the fan-favorite Cesaro.

It’s clear that WWE’s Prodigal Son didn’t fall on his face as The Chairman had hoped, and it’s equally clear that the WWE Universe likes the way Shane runs things. In fact, due to the overwhelming support that Shane received throughout social media throughout the past week, Mr. McMahon has announced that his son will once again be in control of Raw tonight.

In response to this monumental announcement, Shane expressed how grateful he was to the fans and seemed more than ready to take the wheel once again: 

Because of all of you, my foot's still in the door. I can't thank you enough. Much love and respect, see you tonight https://t.co/wemPCb035O
