Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I puta tuatahi a McMahon i runga i te mata i roto i nga tau e rua i runga i tetahi waahanga o "SmackDown!" i mua i te WrestleMania XIX, e matakitaki ana i te whakangungu a tona papa i roto i te whare takaro ki te whakarite i tana tukinga ki a Hulk Hogan. I te WrestleMania XIX, i haere ia ki te tirotiro i te oranga o tona papa i muri i te Whawhai Rori me Hulk Hogan, me Hogan e manaaki ana i a Shane ki te mowhiti ka haere ki waho. I hoki mai ia hei kanohi i te raumati o te tau 2003 ma te uru atu ki te riri ki a Eric Bischoff, nana nei i korero kino me nga tohu ki te whaea o Shane, a Linda. I hinga ia i a Bischoff i te whakataetae Falls Count Anywhere i te
Ko te SummerSlam. I uru ano a McMahon ki tetahi whakataetae nanakia me Kane i muri i te whakawhiwhinga a Kane ki a Linda ki te "Tombstone Piledriver" na te mea kaore ia i whakaingoa i a ia hei kaitono tuatahi mo te Toa Taumaha Taumaha o te Ao. I mutu to raua riri i te ngaro o McMahon i te whakataetae Last Man Standing i te Unforgiven me te whakataetae Ambulance i te Survivor Series.
