Team McMahon was the name of a mixed brand heel professional wrestling stable in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) consisting of WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon, his son Shane McMahon and various supporters amongst and other heel wrestlers from all different brands, last of which being Umaga. However, the group is referred to as The McMahons when any two members of the McMahon family are together.

History

Though Vince and Shane had teamed up before on previous occasions, it wasn't until 2006 that the pair became a regular tag team. The team formed when Shane returned to aid his father's feud with Shawn Michaels. Shane appeared on "RAW" to force Michaels join Vince's "kiss my ass club" [cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/02272006/|title=Joining the club|publisher=WWE.com|accessdate=2006-02-27] and went on to face Michaels in a street fight at "Saturday Night's Main Event" and, in a fashion similar to the Montreal Screwjob, Shane put Michaels in the Sharpshooter as Vince called for the bell, giving Shane the victory. [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/snme/060318.html|title=Saturday Night's Main Event - March 18, 2006 results|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2007-09-02] In the weeks leading up to Wrestlemania 22, Vince would recruit the services of Triple H, and Michaels would enlist the aid of WWE Champion John Cena (whom Triple H was feuding with at the time) to help him against the McMahons. Michaels would get his revenge at WrestleMania 22 however, defeating Vince in a No Holds Barred match and forcing Shane to join his father's "Kiss My Ass Club" in the process.

The McMahons' feud with Michaels took a religious turn after WrestleMania 22, when Vince, claiming that Michaels' victory was a result of "divine intervention", booked himself and his son in a match at Backlash against Shawn Michaels and his tag team partner, "God". [cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/04032006/|title=The Champ bows down to the “King of Kings”|publisher=WWE.com|accessdate=2006-04-03] Around this time, Vince began to act strangely, and at one point considered himself a God. Shane teamed with Vince to defeat Shawn Michaels and God at Backlash, due to help from the Spirit Squad, a team of male cheerleaders whom the McMahons had recently encouraged to join with them.

Triple H would later turn away from the McMahons after many miscues between himself and the Spirit Squad in their feuds with John Cena and Shawn Michaels. He walked out of a WWE Championship match that he was referee, leading to Michaels taking over and helping Cena retain against Spirit Squad member Kenny. Triple H accidentally hit Shane with his sledgehammer while aiming for Michaels, putting Shane out of the ring for a while. [cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/05152006/|title=Money Shot|author=Louie Dee|publisher=WWE.com|accessdate=2006-05-15] . When Triple H then attempted to lead the Spirit Squad in an attack on Michaels, he was disrespected by Kenny, and as a result, turned on the Squad. Triple H began a feud with the McMahons shortly after, leading to his siding with Shawn Michaels in the reformation of D-Generation X (DX).

Vince booked a match for Vengeance 2006 on June 25, 2006, where DX defeated the Spirit Squad in a 5-on-2 handicap match. [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/wweppv/vengeance06.html|title=WWE Vengeance 2006 results|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2007-09-03] Vince also booked a match at another "Saturday Night's Main Event" on July 15, 2006 in a 5-on-2 elimination match, where DX was again victorious. [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/snme/060715.html|title=Saturday Night's Main Event - July 15, 2006 results|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2007-09-03] This frustrated the McMahons to a point where Vince made a match at SummerSlam 2006 between himself and Shane against DX. Despite interference from various heels including the Spirit Squad, Mr. Kennedy, Finlay, William Regal, Big Show and Umaga, DX were again victorious. [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/wweppv/summerslam06.html|title=WWE SummerSlam 2006 results|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2007-09-03]

The McMahons then recruited then ECW Champion, Big Show to join their force against DX. Vince booked a match at Unforgiven 2006 on September 17, 2006, where he teamed up with his son Shane and Big Show to take on DX in a 3-on-2 handicap Hell in a Cell match. At Unforgiven, DX defeated the McMahons and Big Show, and embarrassed Vince by putting his face in Big Show's backside, ending the feud once and for all. [cite web|url=http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/results/wweppv/unforgiven06.html|title=WWE Unforgiven 2006 results|publisher=Online World of Wrestling|accessdate=2007-09-03] Big Show then left the group.

The McMahons were then seen together in March 2007, scheming for Shane McMahon to be the guest referee at WrestleMania 23 in his father's "Battle of The Billionaires" match. Ultimately, their quest was denied as Stone Cold Steve Austin was announced as the guest referee. [cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/archive/03052007/|title=A stunning revelation|author=Noah Starr|publisher=WWE.com|accessdate=2007-03-05] Shane & Vince then reunited once again, this time at WrestleMania 23 where Shane tried to help his father win his match against Donald Trump by helping knock out Austin and revealing himself as being a second referee. But their efforts failed when Bobby Lashley, who was Trump's representitive pinned Mr. McMahon's representitive, Umaga, and as a result, Vince had to have his head shaved bald.

After WrestleMania, Shane then helped his father out once again by siding with him in his ongoing feud with Bobby Lashley. The McMahons, along with Umaga, faced Lashley at Backlash 2007 for his ECW Championship in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match. At Backlash, Shane helped his father claim his first ECW Championship.

The team would disband on the June 11th edition of WWE Raw after the (kayfabe) presumed death of Vince McMahon after the limo exploded with Vince in it.
