What if Kevin Owens moves to SmackDown Live?

3. Avoiding Shane McMahon

Kevin Owens vs. Shane McMahon is about the last feud WWE needs to revisit.

There are a number fresh, interesting matchups awaiting Kevin Owens if he were to make the jump back to SmackDown. One program that no one is clamoring for, however, would be a renewal of Owens vs. Shane McMahon.

To be fair, the 2017-2018 feud between the two was largely good, with an interesting take on the old authority figure vs. wrestler angle in reverse face and heel alignments from what we ordinarily see.

Moreover, both are game performers who assembled some worthwhile ring work together. However, their issue extended for so long that there’s absolutely no interest in seeing them square off again.

To be fair, McMahon has been mostly absent of late, in favor of Paige running SmackDown Live solo, so we might avoid rekindling this feud by default. In any event, it’s not a piece of WWE history worth revisiting, or at least not worth revisiting this soon.
