#2 Shane McMahon just lessened the stakes for his match against Kevin Owens at SummerSlam

The Kevin Owens-Shane McMahon storyline has drawn some positive attention from fans during the past few weeks. But last night might have hampered the expectations heading into SummerSlam.

As a segment, there weren't any new plot points that were established for this feud. Shane McMahon and Elias ambushed Kevin Owens during the show, but the 'Best in the World' did not put his career on the line despite that topic being the focal point of their segment last night.

This also means that Kevin Owens' potential victory at SummerSlam would not do anything major to stop Shane McMahon and his clique from hogging up TV time every week.

Therefore, the fans have very little to invest in when it comes to their match this Sunday. Sure, Owens has put his career on the line, but we all know that he is not going to stop feuding with Shane McMahon anytime soon.

Do you also feel that the Shane-Owens segment from last night was a mistake?
