This feud came to an end after a long build-up, but the ending was exactly what the fans were hoping for. Shane McMahon had taken over our screens since Crown Jewel 2018, and after winning the Best in the World title, had been haunting the WWE Universe with his antics.

After running through The Miz and Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens took the responsibility of eradicating Shane’s deadly virus from our television screens.

With both men’s futures at stake in the ladder match on this week’s SmackDown, Owens took the fight to Shane from the opening bell. The highlight of the match saw Shane deliver a Coast-to-Coast into a ladder to Owens, while KO took his revenge by planting McMahon with a powerbomb into another ladder.

Finally, Owens climbed the ladder to retrieve the briefcase to a huge pop from the WWE Universe. KO got a chance to exclaim “You’re Fired” to Shane before delivering a huge Stunner to Vince McMahon's son, which added a good touch to the entire rivalry.

Fans can now hope that Kevin Owens will become one of the top stars of SmackDown going forward and continue to battle in more meaningful feuds like this.
