Shane McMahon has passed his athletic genes to his three sons: Declan, Kenyon and Rogan.

The former wrestler and WWE commissioner reportedly married his wife, Marissa Mazzola-McMahon, in the late ’90s. A few years later, they welcomed their first child, Declan, in 2004, followed by Kenyon in 2006 and Rogan in 2010. The McMahon trio was raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., where they attended Poly Prep Country Day School and played football.

Now, two of them play at the collegiate level: Declan is a red-shirt freshman at Indiana University, while Kenyon is at the University of North Carolina. Rogan also made varsity as a high school freshman.

From the start, Shane explained that he wouldn’t be pressuring his kids to be part of the wrestling world but wouldn’t be upset if they found their way into the family business.

“If their passion is in there, and that’s what they want to do, absolutely,” he told SLAM! Wrestling in 2006. “They are the fifth generation, so it’s up to them to continue.”

Declan, Kenyon and Rogan have been up close and personal to the ring, attending WrestleManias and practices. After years away from the WWE, Shane wrestled in WrestleMania 32 in 2016 so his sons could see him perform. The three boys ran out with their dad, a moment Shane described as “an unbelievable honor.”

“It’s an experience I will never, ever forget in my life,” he told ESPN’s Sportscenter in 2016. “Imagine that, that you get to have your three sons a part of one of the greatest entertainment spectaculars of all time.”

Here’s everything to know about Shane McMahon’s sons: Declan, Kenyon and Rogan.

Declan James McMahon, 21

Shane and Marissa welcomed their son Declan James McMahon on Feb. 13, 2004.

The couple chose Irish names for their children, and Declan was named after a king of Ireland. He told wrestling writer Jim Varsallone that his moniker is “unique so I like it.”

In 2022, Declan graduated from Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn, where he played quarterback and was on the team with his brother, Kenyon, for two years. Declan has called that experience with his brother as “some of the best years of my life.”

The eldest McMahon boy visited with Duke University and Rutgers University. He also received offers from Fordham University and East Carolina University. Ultimately, though, he committed to Indiana University as a preferred walk-on and running back.

Shane — who Declan described as “one of the most intense guys I’ve ever met” — proudly shared photos of him and his son on X after Declan announced his commitment to the Hoosiers on social media in 2022.

“So proud to be Declan’s father,” Shane wrote. “Hard work pays off. Go Hoosiers!”

Thanks to Declan and the McMahon family, the team owns an official WWE takeaway belt, which players hold up after interceptions and forced fumbles. The belt means a lot to the Hoosiers, but maybe even more to Declan personally, as it represents his commitment to the values of the WWE. Declan tries to live the life of a champion in everything he does, from schoolwork to being a good big brother.

“I was born into this business. Being a champion isn’t something that’s just displayed by having a belt, it’s something you have to live every day of your life,” he told WU Online. “[Including] being an older brother and a great role model, you have to be a champion for them as well.”

The New York Yankees fan started college as a sports media and broadcasting major but switched to business management, feeling the latter was better suited for him. He has already co-founded a company, the soon-to-be-launched nicotine pouch maker Neuro Nicotine, according to its website and Instagram bio.

Declan and his brothers have experienced the thrill of a WWE crowd and were in the spotlight themselves when they ran out with their dad ahead of WrestleMania 32 in 2016. (Shane wrestled the Undertaker that year, and his final WWE match was at WrestleMania 39 in 2023.)

“I couldn’t believe it. People are asking me, like, ‘Did you guys rehearse that? You went through that?’ No, they just came out — they took to it like fish to water,” Shane told ESPN of his kids’ big moment. “Declan, my eldest, is like [waving to the crowd], ‘Oh, what’s up?’ Feeling it. Oh my God, I had so much fun with it. That was my WrestleMania moment forever.”

Declan was also wowed by the experience, telling WU Online that joining his father on stage “was the coolest experience of my life … to see a sold-out crowd cheering for something that is way bigger than yourself. It really gets to put it in perspective of just what it means to not only be a champion but to be a superstar.”

But will Declan wrestle on the big stage one day?

“I’m never ruling it out. I would love to get in the ring maybe a couple of times,” he told the outlet. “I think a lot of fans would get behind it if we ended up doing it. I think I’d be pretty good at it.”

Kenyon Jess McMahon, 18

Shane and Marissa welcomed their son Kenyon Jess McMahon on March 22, 2006.

Like his older brother, Kenyon grew up in Brooklyn and played for Poly Prep, graduating in 2024. Kenyon is also a collegiate football player, currently a defensive back for the University of North Carolina.

“So proud to be Kenyon’s Dad. Hard work pays off,” Shane wrote on Instagram after Kenyon declared with UNC in February 2024 — a nearly identical sentiment to the one he shared when Declan made his own announcement two years earlier.

Speaking to Varsallone, Declan explained that he and his brothers have considered joining the WWE and that Kenyon “has the knack for it.”

“He’s super physical and such a great athlete,” Declan shared, noting that Kenyon’s skills were evident in his high school football tapes.

After Shane was hospitalized with diverticulitis in 2018, he thanked his fans on social media for the well wishes. Alongside a photo of him and his sons, Shane wrote that he was “healing up, and I have the best medicine in the world with me.”

Kenyon was by his dad’s side for WrestleMania 32 in 2016 and WrestleMania 33 in 2017. He has also been spotted in the audience at other wrestling events since.

Rogan Henry McMahon, 14

The youngest of Shane and Marissa’s sons, Rogan Henry McMahon, was born in 2010 and raised in Brooklyn.

Like his older brothers, Rogan plays football. He’s currently an offensive/defensive lineman on his high school team and will graduate in 2028.

In addition to WrestleMania and WWE Hell in a Cell appearances, Rogan and his siblings have been seen with their dad at outings, like the 2014 Monster Energy SuperCross World Championship Race in New Jersey and a New York Knicks game against the Golden State Warriors at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in 2017.

The three boys have also been featured in some of their father’s social media posts over the years, including a video of them as his three “Sunday morning training partners” in 2016.

Shane wrote on X that the father-son bonding was “what it’s all about.”

When discussing the possibility of becoming the next generations of wrestling McMahons, Declan shared with Varsallone that Rogan was “going to be pretty big,” so his size would help, and that maybe the WWE could “have a bloodline storyline with us. The possibilities are endless.”
