This week’s episode of Smackdown Live saw Kevin Owens lose his WWE United States Championship to AJ Styles. This came in a triple threat match between Styles, Owens and Chris Jericho. This was less than 48 hours after Owens won the title from Styles at Battleground.
Owens demanded his rematch next week on Smackdown Live in a singles match. Here is some speculation on Kevin Owens and his plans for Summerslam (reminder, key word here is speculation).
There is some speculation among fans that WWE could be planting the seeds for a Kevin Owens vs Shane McMahon match at Summerslam. This came after Shane and Owens argued on Smackdown Live this week backstage and Owens blamed Shane for forcing him to defend his title in a triple threat. Both Shane and Owens said on Smackdown this week that they dislike one another.
LOL. Back and forth, back and forth. Lemme guess? We get Kevin Owens vs Shane McMahon at Summerslam? #SDLive

Chris felt the interaction between Kevin Owens and Shane McMahon had a “SummerSlammy” vibe to it. Interested in that match? #WINCPodcast

This is only speculation so take with a grain of salt. It does appear that if AJ wins next week on Smackdown, it would allow for both him and Owens to move on to new feuds. Shane vs Owens certainly seems like a possibility but we will have to wait for more official confirmation before we get too excited.
