There has been a buzz in the WWE Universe over the past few days about Shane McMahon potentially returning to the ring. Shane was defeated by AJ Styles at Wrestemania 33. Many fans gave him credit for putting on a much better match than they expected from him at the event.
The latest buzz surrounding Shane has to do with his interaction on this week’s episode of Smackdown Live.
Shane McMahon Rumors
Shane and Kevin Owens argued backstage after Shane forced Owens to defend his United States Title in a triple threat match (against Styles and Chris Jericho). Owens lost his title later that night and it is clear that WWE is emphasizing the tension between Shane and Owens.
This tension has caused a lot of speculation among wrestling fans that this could have been WWE’s way to plant seeds for a potential Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens match.
Initial speculation seems to be that it could take place at Summerslam since it is several weeks away and WWE could build up the storyline over the next few weeks. There is also the chance that WWE keeps this match for Wrestlemania and the seeds planted on Smackdown Live this week were a part of their long-term plan.
Regardless, there is something brewing between Shane and Owens which could lead to a match. We will find out more details on Smackdown Live this week, so keep an eye out for how this develops on television.
