Throughout his wrestling career, he held titles such as the WWE European Championship and the WWE Hardcore Championship, solidifying his place in WWE history. Shane’s involvement in memorable matches and storylines, including his iconic feuds with wrestlers like Kurt Angle and The Undertaker, showcased his versatility and commitment to entertaining the audience.
